How to incorporate own Mint-Y icons into the theme?

[junglized]

Hi All,

I was wondering recently, is there is any way to add own icons to MIn-Y theme? Any automatic process via script maybe?

I created three icons, for Local by Flywheel, PhotoGIMP and Codium, added them via .desktop file but they just don't scale properly with the rest of icons...

All help will be much appreciated, thanks!

Howdy. No need to add it to an existing theme - just create your own. Move down to the mkdir -p ~/.icon part of this webpage:

I don't do this, so let us know if this is what you want to do.

Thanks for a reply.

I have my icons placed in ~/.icons but Plank dock displays them a tiny bit smaller than icons added from Mint-Y theme, unfortunately. I actually forgot that I asked this question and posted another one with a screenshot showing what I mean.

In "/usr/share/icons/Mint-Y/apps" the app icons are multi-sized with 16 of them in total (if we ignore the "symbolic" folder). One may imitate the folder structure in "~/.local/share/icons/hicolor" to create all the exact sizes. For example, in my PC, Wine is putting the Windows Pinball icon into "~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/1F9E_pinball.0.png", together with "32x32" and "16x16" in their respective folder.
