Arc iPack by niivu (once again), brings the beauty of the Arc icon theme to your Windows PC.

Like Deepin it changes the folder icons as well as the drive icons, PC icon, network icon, and the icons on the side panel among others.Īrc has been one of the most, some might say the best themes available for Linux systems and it was only a couple of years ago that Linux got an official Arc Icon theme. Turquoise though, is flatter, and more cartoonish, in a good way with clear outlines. It hasn’t been my favorite because it still uses Yellow folder icons like the default Windows folders. This icon pack by BluPaper simply modifies the default Windows folder icons while changing a few others. These icons are based on the folder icons in Flat-Remix, an icon theme for GNOME (Linux). It also installs a few folder icons for folders like Documents, Music, Videos, etc. And it does look pretty amazing because I have used it personally. All it basically does is give the folder icons on your Windows PC a much nicer green color. It’s compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and even Windows 10. If you’re more or less satisfied with the way your Windows PC looks but don’t like those yellow folders, WinRemix iPack by unisira will be perfect for you. You won’t be able to use your PC while the icon pack is being installed since explorer and all related processes need to be closed. Just make sure you create a restore point before messing anything up. That said, I have actually installed icon packs over icon packs and haven’t run into trouble, might I add, yet. After that, reboot the system and see if things are working. It’d rather be a good practice to first uninstall any previous icon pack. I’d advise not to go an installing spree like you’re probably used to on your Android device or Linux. For images with more complex backgrounds, you’ll need to use more complex methods.Keep in mind these are still replacing system files. That makes the fuzzy select tool (Magic Wand in Photoshop) the ideal tool for the job. The principles will be the same.įortunately, our example image has clean, well-defined black lines around the subject and a plain background. We’ll use GIMP, the popular free and open-source image editor, for this but you can use another image editor if you prefer it.

The next step is to remove the parts of the image you don’t want in your icon. Higher is fine, but smaller could give you a low-resolution icon! Preparing the Image

If there are multiple versions of the graphic you’re looking for, grab the best looking one at the highest resolution, which should be above 256 x 256 pixels. You can design your own, if you’re artistically inclined, but for the sake of demonstration, we’ll simply grab something simple from Google Images. Your new icons can be whatever you want, or whatever you can Google.
