## DIY Instructions
If you want to build your own icon engravings, you'll need to install a couple of things:
- A computer running MacOS.
- A SVG editor of your choice.
- ImageMagick (`brew install imagemagick`)
- librsvg (`brew install librsvg`)
Once everything is installed, you're ready to go!
1. Create a `512x512` monochrome SVG file and save it under `Create/Engravings`.
2. Double-click the `Create.command` file (or run it with `bash Create.command`).
If you're familiar with the command line, you can create individual images like so:
```bash
bash generate.sh "Create/Templates/(Template)" "Create/Engravings/(Engraving).svg" "Icon.icns"
```
## DIY Pro Instructions
**If you want to build your own folder templates, you'll need to know how to use the ImageMagick command line to manipulate images.**
A template is a MacOS `.iconset` with an extra `imio.sh` file inside.
The `imio.sh` file is a bash script that contains functions used to create the embossed engraving and apply it to the template folder icons:
```bash
template_info() {
echo "My First Template"
}
# This function will emboss the icon engraving.
#
# Input:
# $1 -- The engraving image.
# $ICON_HEIGHT -- The icon height in pixels.
# $ICON_WIDTH -- The icon width in pixels.
# $ICON_TYPE -- The icon type (i.e. iconset suffix)
# $ICON_VARIANT -- The icon variant (e.g. '@1x' or '@2x')
#
# Output:
# The raw BMP-format image data for the embossed engraving.
# You can use `bmp:-` as the ImageMagick output file for that.
template_emboss() {
# This command will turn the engraving red.
# More advanced commands will be needed to create an emboss effect.
magick convert "$1" \( -clone 0 -fill '#ff0000' -colorize 100 \) \
-background none -compose Src -flatten \
bmp:-
}
# This function will combine the engraving and the template folder icon.
#
# Input:
# $1 -- The embossed engraving image.
# $2 -- The folder image.
# $ICON_HEIGHT -- The icon height in pixels.
# $ICON_WIDTH -- The icon width in pixels.
# $ICON_TYPE -- The icon type (i.e. iconset suffix)
# $ICON_VARIANT -- The icon variant (e.g. '@1x' or '@2x')
#
# Output:
# The raw PNG-format image data for the combined image.
# You can use `png:-` as the ImageMagick output file for that.
template_combine() {
# Find the best placement geometry for the icon size.
# The following values are for Big Sur.
