Creating a Custom Icon Pack for Linux

Creating a Custom Icon Pack for Linux

Welcome to the guide for developing your own custom icon pack for Linux graphical environments. This brief article will provide detailed instructions and practical examples to help you create and implement a custom icon theme.

Icon Locations on the System

First, it is important to explain where icons are usually stored. There are many possible directories to store icon files, but the most common ones are:

  • User Icons (~/.icons/): Icons stored here are only accessible by the current user.
  • System Icons (/usr/share/icons/): Icons in this directory are available to all system users.
