Custom Icons for Windows 11 Thread (Folders, Dropbox, Google Drive, Podcasts, NVME Drive, Steam, Adobe)

[davidvkimball]

Just shoot whatever you think. As you can see, I love High res Icons. Just look at what I'm using it will give you a good idea.

I'm sure you have some great ideas!

As you can see here, these are my most used ones.

I suggest pulling from all of the Windows 11 icons. I've collected them for you here.

Windows 11 Icons as of 7-7-2021

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

Do I just follow the same for folders that I have on my "extra storage" drive?

Yep!

I David, much appreciated. There is One Icon I would like. It's an image of m.2 to use as main drive icon in shell list. Like a Samsung 980 pro or WD 850 black stand alone like the download arrow.

Can you provide some images from Google so I can have some context?

Yes sir I can.

Helpful, thanks!

Credit for the NVME drive icon is here: Ssd free vector icons designed by Smashicons

I created one for where your OS is installed, one generic one, and one with only the NVME drive itself. The first two use the default Windows 11 drive icon as a base so they scale down beautifully.



Enjoy!

Hi Dave, They are nice but I was really looking for the same thing as the 960. I was able to create one.

Here is my Explorer. I don't have any HDD's any more but I like the design. I might add an SSD

Excellent I'm glad you were able to make them! In the icons I make, I aim to make the design as uniform and consistent with the Fluent Design Language as possible. I like my Windows 11 icons all feeling cohesive with the same visual style.

 

[Zardoc]

Yep, I get your point. I'm sort of an all over the place dude.

Documents, Games, HTML, Images, Movies, Music, TV Shows, Software

lol

I just added four more new ones! Hopefully these meet your needs. If not, let me know.

Hey @JMedlock83 - my bad, I realized just now I attached .PNG icons instead of .ICO ones. Try now! And let me know if you want any others.

Dave, I really like your folders. Can you make one the same color as Dropbox and call it BACKUP in white letters please? Thanks.

Sure. I made one pretty quickly, it doesn't scale down like many of the other ones do. But since you only see it in its largest size it seems like, this should work fine. :)

Man Dave, Do you have the oven on HIGH and bake them as we go along? Thanks dude. Nice job!!

That is a fantastic idea. I do like those icons for the NVMe and mechanical HDs.

Reminds me of the Win 7 / 8 / 10 device icons for peripherals.

You bet! Here you go:

They look great! Could you also please make a colorful one for the "Games" folder?

You guys are going to work poor David to death, or his fingers are going to fall off!

@davidvkimball Maybe you could create a tutorial for making the icons and we could make our own? Just a thought.
