@Steven If you are going to be making lots of files, can you please host them on a 3rd party hosting site so I'm not having to back them up 4 times a day for the next 20 years!!! :p

To simplify the process for everyone interested by the various customs icons that can be found on this thread, I decided to make the works of all the contributors on this thread available in one easy to download archive.​


Download link : Windows 11 Ultimate Icons Pack on MEGA (the archive contain a total of 831 icons files.)

BENIFITS :
  • most icons from page 1 to 40 of this thread are included (excluding the stuff that did not meet expectation)
  • icons has been organized into different folder for easy-to-use purpose ("apps", "folder_colored", "folder_plain" and "shell")
  • all the "shell" icons (Windows 11 default icons) have been given names and have been organized, vastly improving the ease of use.
  • no duplicate
  • a small batch script is included that allow to easily modify the icons of the following folders :
    "C:\Program Files", "C:\Program Files (x86)", "C:\Users" and "C:\Windows"
Here's some screenshot of what's included in this release :

"apps" :

    Love fast boots
Found and joined this forum, because of this thread. Truely EPIC work guys.

I know this is my first post, but the reason for the search today was to find an icon for my 3mf files for 3D printing, I would love a folder Icon which had the Prusa Research Logo (Prusa3D - Open-Source 3D Printers from Josef Prusa) and maybe in the signature orange you can see on there site. Would that be possible?

So which is their actual 'default' logo ?
I visited their page and couldn't find any significant graphic to use on a folder, of course there is the possibility it's my old eyes playing up on me again. :geek:
No you’re right, it’s the Prusa Research text at the top left or maybe like the attached so when it’s at 16x16 it would look cool in the quick access panel? Sorry if that’s overly complicated and thank you for your reply

Yo @Lucas North, I managed to download the 3 official icons for you (wasn't that intuitive) in case they were not accessible for you.
Hope it can help a bit.

So just using the 'text' across an orange folder is how you'd like to go with this ?

I did see the graphics when I visited the site in question but I didn't think any of them would display well at the smaller sizes.
In fact, the label is 119 pixels large and I can't find any better. Maybe you can use a smoothing technique for the 256px version magnification.
I think the "P" icon would be ideal for orb or could maybe fit the smallest folders (?) That's up to you 2 of course.
Here's a better resolution of the "P" icon if needed.

I'll be able to recreate the 'P' icon, shouldn't be a problem at all.
I love the orange folders and the P would be absolutely ‘p’erfect. Thank you so much for this!

No my friend, I will do the conversions for you when I get back later and post them here in the thread.
I will just post all the examples and you can get to choose which one you want to use. 👍🏼
You're a scholar and gentleman! Yeah I mean I'm not sure if its possible to use the outlined text one generally and then in quick access it becomes the 'P'? It not could I be cheekier and ask for both? The outlined text would be my priority if that's okay? Have you done a tutorial on these? I would love some more but wouldn't feel comfortable asking over and over.
