Making an icon pack

You can make your own icon packs and import it to customIcons!

Prerequisites

  • Icons in .ico format
  • Notepad
  • Minimal knowledge of JSON
  • and a positive attitude

Putting the icons

  1. Icons should be .ico. customIcons won't recognize if it isn't .ico.
  2. Create a directory called cI.[your icon pack name here].
  3. Put all the icons on the directory you made.
    • Note that you should label your icons accordingly on the shown icon, so users can tell it with the others!

Making the customIconPack Manifest

You need to make a manifest so customIcons can tell it is an icon pack.
Example code:

{
  "name": "My cool Windows 11 pack",
  "description": "This is cool.",
  "pack_maker": "jbcarreon123",
  "maker": "jbcarreon123"
}

Save it as cIManifest.json on the directory you made with the icons.

Compiling

There is no compilation. You just need to zip the folder with Windows' Compress ZIP feature.
Zip the folder itself, not the contents, or your file may face some problems.

You should have an icon pack ready to import to customIcons!
