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

[Cesare Vesdani]

Just use the link I posted above to create your own-colored folders online. Then download them as .ico files and everything should work normally.

 

[davidvkimball]

Just created this one for Claude! Has unique rasterizations at every size. Made with Folder Icon Designer.

 

[Cesare Vesdani]

Well, done. You made a great looking folder for Claude. I do like it. How many folder makers are there?

I recently published Fold11 on the Microsoft Store. It's a free, lightweight tool that lets you customize your Windows folder colors, add text, and apply custom icons directly from the right-click menu.

Could you add the prebuilt icon colors like the brown one from Microsoft? I’m not sure how to replicate the exact color and angle.

 

[Cesare Vesdani]

Yeah. Good idea. Add the pre-built icons.

Is there a repository that these are all being stored in? Sorry if this has been asked already in the 60-something pages of this thread I haven't checked I saw the edits to post #1, but couldn't find a link to download all at once like DeviantArt albums or GitHub repositories/gists have.

Thanks for all the work you've done, and stoked that you're keeping the thread alive!

Okay, my lazy ass read the last two pages and answered my own questions.

I've already got the collection: this thread is Folder11 if I'm reading this correctly.

@davidvkimball, would you open to editing post #1 for people who found this thread via search engine? Maybe adding a big title block at the top of the post that says something like, "This project has evolved into a collaborate effort known as Folder11. You can find these icons here."

Just an idea, thanks for sharing! xoxo

To be honest with you, I've lost track - lots of derivative projects, repos, and web apps floating around here lol

Done!

 

[Hotcreme]

Done!

You're a rockstar.

If you're not opposed to it, I'd like to recommend another collection to this gang of user interface tweakers like myself: a huge collection of Pantone and gradient icons that match Windows 11 quite well. Sometimes having a folder with a very specific color is helpful, even if it doesn't point to an application or indicate its contents.

Enjoy!

thanks
Does anyone have this for Dropbox and MegaSync ? It's very similar but not the same

 

[Donnje]

Here's my first icon, any suggestions on what to fix?

here it is dropbox.ico

 

[JangOetama]

Done!

thanks a ton for actually updating the OP, @davidvkimball! Seriously appreciate you adding the repo link, man. And huge props to @Hotcreme for the assist/suggestion!

Just to clear the air and be totally honest with you guys I didn't set up the Folder11 repo to step on this thread's toes or create some kind of rivalry. I'm just a massive Microsoft Fluent UI fanboy, which is exactly why Fold11 was built strictly on those official UI/UX principles.

Initially, I was just hoarding icons from Mega, OneDrive, and links from this forum. I absolutely love the stuff you, epic, and a few others drop. But I noticed some contributors were kind of drifting away from the actual Fluent guidelines, going way overboard with crazy gradients and off-brand styles. You probably don't sweat it too much, but for a strict Fluent UI nerd like me, it was driving my OCD slightly nuts lol.

That's exactly why I built the repo specifically around SVGs. It naturally makes it tougher for people to push those non-Fluent styles, while keeping it way easier for anyone to tweak or remix the vectors however they want.

Basically, it’s not meant to compete with this thread; I just made it as a dedicated spot for anyone here who is as hardcore about that pure Fluent vibe as I am. Glad we can keep this awesome community growing together!

I tried making icons, but I'm really not good at it.
Would someone have the time and be kind enough to make Windows 11 icons with the colors of these icons (attached) ?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for making me an owner of the repo.

I also featured your work on my blog post.

Po prostu rób, co ci przyjdzie do głowy. Jak widać, uwielbiam ikony w wysokiej rozdzielczości. Wystarczy spojrzeć na to, czego używam, a nabierzesz o tym pojęcia.

Jestem pewien, że masz świetne pomysły!

Jak widać, z tych korzystam najczęściej.
