How to download

- Save the ZIP to your computer and unzip to a folder.
- Open the included Readme for licensing details and credits.
Installing on Windows
- Right-click the folder you want to customize and choose Properties.
- Go to the Customize tab and click Change Icon….
- Click Browse, select the .ico file from the unzipped icon set, then OK → Apply.
Tip: If the icon doesn’t update immediately, restart File Explorer (Task Manager → restart “Windows Explorer”) or sign out and in.
Installing on macOS
- Open the .icns file or a PNG in Preview, select Edit → Select All then Edit → Copy.
- Right-click the target folder and choose Get Info.
- Click the small folder icon at the top-left of the Info window, then press Cmd+V to paste.
- Close the Info window to apply.
Tip: If macOS reverts to the default icon, clear icon caches via:
- Terminal:
sudo find /private/var/folders -name com.apple.dock.iconcache -exec rm {} ;then restart. (Use with caution.)
Licensing & usage
- Personal use: Allowed — customize your desktop and share icons with friends.
- Commercial use: Check the Readme — some packs require attribution or purchase for commercial distribution.
- Do not redistribute the raw PNG/ICO/ICNS files without permission from the creator.
Troubleshooting
- Icon appears blurry: Use the higher-resolution PNG/ICNS, ensure icon caches are cleared, and confirm you used the correct .ico size for Windows.
- Icon doesn’t stick on folder (macOS): Make sure you clicked the small icon in the Get Info window before pasting; if needed, reboot.
- Icons blocked by security: Right-click the ZIP, select Properties, and click Unblock (Windows) before extracting.
Alternatives and custom edits
- Convert PNG to ICO/ICNS using online converters or tools like IconWorkshop.
- Edit PNGs in Photoshop or GIMP to change colors or add overlays (maintain transparency).
