Wow. Thanks for this one. I'll use it for my Youtube reels folder..

May I be so bold to ask for the .psd or .png file that you are using for the base Windows 11 folder? been throwing some ideas around in my head,

 

[Dark Knight]

Just what I was looking for .... Thanks

Vivid colours on dark theme Win 11 is really nice. I like vivid colours.

If you have a set of vivid colour folders (red, blue, green orange, purple etc.) I'm a taker

 

[Zardoc]

Yeah, plain but vivid no text. (for now)

 

[johnlgalt]

One more question on this one, does it need to be visible at all sizes, or just the sizes larger than 64x64 pixels like some of the other Windows 11 User folders?

Great Question.

For the smaller versions, until it becomse ludicrously small, would it be possible to make α and β? And on the larger stuff the words with the greek letters at the beginning? You can decide visually where the cutoffs are for each type, you're the designer lol.

If using the single letter is too much of a PITA, then cut off where you need to to keep it from looking less than stellar. The folder colors will still be a good clue.

Sound good?

This has probably become my favorite thread, there is a lot of creativity going on. I struggled at first with the whole png to ico thing but Gimp solved that. I love these M2 Icons this is the first time using Windows I have ever customized my drives.

Now, because there was an M2 SSD drive icon, please make 3.5 inch SSD drive icon, and HDD drive icon.

 

[Zardoc]

Nice !! . The glossy. The brighter the livelier

 

[johnlgalt]

I added a glossy highlight to the YouTube Icons just in case anyone preferred them, I might be drifting away from the current
Windows 11 design here but just thought I'd offer them up for any old Windows Vista and Windows 7 fans.

That glossy effect is super sexy.

Don't care much what most people say about material design, this shininess / glossy aspect of icons is still the preferred alternative to me. Even if I am inundated with material flatness and such, I still love glassy-reflections and glossiness.

 

[Zardoc]

Very, very nice. Thanks a bunch!!

I'm so glad you're enjoying this thread and you're using the M2 icons I made! I really am loving this thread, too, so much fun, creative stuff being made by some serious talent. :)

how did you place the folders below the drives?

 

[Lord_N]

how did you place the folders below the drives?

Right-click > Group By > More > CHECK "File System" > Move Up ('til the Top) > OK.

Right-click > Group By > File System.

Hope that helps.

Just a few Ideas I've been putting together just in case anyone wants something a little different.
Graphic looks a little worse when viewed in the forum but they are great quality when used in Windows.

Are they available Lucas?

I look that I can use as a drive icon in the Windows Explorer (like the M.2 icon)
