How can I make my own custom icon pack?

[tyler0183]

Hello,
I want to make my own icon packs. I understand that you can get icon packs that others have made, but I like to make my own icons. As of now, I set each custom icon manually (folder opened as root -> right click on app -> preferences -> click on icon) but I would like a way to set an icon pack all at once without going through this process, especially since I plan on making multiple different packs. By icons, I mean both system icons (file manager, folder, desktop) and other apps (firefox, text editor). Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

I am not an artist myself but I think you can take reference from existing icon theme makers. For example https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTe ... con-theme/ is licensed in GPL-3, which means you can use their boilerplate code freely as long as you also join GPL-3.

p.s. Another example https://github.com/Nitrux/luv-icon-theme, with simpler installation instruction

You can fork an open-source one. This is how I made Papier.
