Show your fandom with a sleek, themed folder icon set inspired by The Vampire Diaries. This pack includes high-resolution PNGs for use as decorative images and ICO/ICNS files ready to replace default folder icons on Windows and macOS. Below is what’s included, how to install the icons, and quick troubleshooting tips.

What’s included

• 10 high-res PNGs (1024×1024) — transparent background, suitable for previews or custom launches.
• 10 ICO files (multiple embedded sizes: 256, 128, 64, 48, 32, 16) — ready for Windows.
• 10 ICNS files (macOS optimized sizes) — ready for macOS.
• Readme with license and installation steps.

Icons feature:

• Character-inspired emblems (e.g., motifs for Damon, Stefan, Elena)
• Series-themed symbols (the Gilbert ring, tribrid motifs, Salvatore crest)
• Dark, cinematic color palette and polished vector-style edges

How to download

1. Click the download link (ZIP) on the page hosting the icon set.
2. Save the ZIP to your computer and unzip to a folder.
3. Open the included Readme for licensing details and credits.

Installing on Windows

1. Right-click the folder you want to customize and choose Properties.
2. Go to the Customize tab and click Change Icon….
3. 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

1. Open the .icns file or a PNG in Preview, select Edit → Select All then Edit → Copy.
2. Right-click the target folder and choose Get Info.
3. Click the small folder icon at the top-left of the Info window, then press Cmd+V to paste.
4. 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).
• For bulk changes, use scripts (PowerShell for Windows, AppleScript for macOS) to apply icons to multiple folders.
