Hello, how about these? There are two sets, with and without icons.

Gradient Folders

 

[Slim08]

@asturias7 Since he's asking in a thread on the topic of Windows 11 folders, I would assume he is asking for folders that are in that style. Not some Macintosh style ones.

@bluishminty If you are able to edit psd files, then you could make your desired folder gradients yourself with the psd provided by Lucas North here: Custom Icons for Windows 11 Thread (Folders, Dropbox, Google Drive, Podcasts, NVME Drive, Steam, Adobe)

 

[bluishminty]

oh ok

 

[Slim08]

@bluishminty Also, now that I come to think of it. You could take a look at the Folder 11 collection, which has almost a thousand folder icons in a variety of colorways. GitHub - icon11-community/Folder11-Ico: Ico repository for Folder11

 

[bluishminty]

ok i guess

 

[bluishminty]

this is how a gradient folder looks like

 

[IownAmoneyPit]

Search Folder11-Ico/ico at main · icon11-community/Folder11-Ico this page for the name you want and click it, click "Raw" in the upper right, than right click the image and download it.... otherwise (the easier way) is you clone the Git on your local computer and it pulls all the icons down into an 'ico' folder that you just grab what you need (and you can do a git pull once in awhile to update it if they add more later)

I just used this link Folder11-Ico chose the green code button and Downloaded the ZIP File instead of the Clone option which contains 981 icons

@bluishminty Yes, that's an example of a very obvious gradient. Almost all folders on here, default Windows 11 folders include, have some kind of gradient. Some more obviously, and some more subtle.

Can someone recommend a tool for creating preview images of multiple icons and all their resolutions at once, rather than screenshoting Explorer or IcoFx or making one in Photoshop manually?

 

[Slim08]

Found my answer:

Create a Snapshot Picture of Your Icons

Learn how to create a snapshot of icons. A Snapshot is an image created automatically by IconWorkshop to show one or several icons (with embedded formats) on a decorated background...

www.axialis.com

Edit: Just found out that IcoFx can also do that for multiple icons.

Hi. I have changed the default folders to a custom one, but it only works when I select the "always show icons, never folders". But I like having thumbs. Is there any way to achieve this? Seems weird how I could do every single folder individually and still have thumbs but not if I do them all at once!?

@kensaundm I would be surprised if anyone knows what you're talking about.

There is no setting "always show icons, never folders" , however there is a setting to "always show icons, never thumbnails" , all this option does is turn off the thumbnail view on your Explorer live folders and thumbnails in those folders . if you want to see thumbnails just untick the option in Windows Explorer > Organize > Change Folder And Search Options > View Tab > Always Show Icons, Never Thumbnails
