# Gnome folder icons

This repository contains some custom `.svg` folder icons which I personally use on my current OS (Fedora 36 with GNOME 42). 

![Cover Image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Samu01Tech/contents/main/Projects/cover-gh.png)

## What I use

**Icons source**: [https://icones.js.org/](https://icones.js.org/)

**Editor**: [https://www.figma.com/](https://www.figma.com/)

## Installation

To use the icons, just clone the repository on your local machine.

You then have to choose the icon on your machine you want to change, right click then `Properties` and click on the folder icon. Now select the new custom icon to apply.

> Note that changing the repository place will result in GNOME not displaying the custom icons after the reboot. Choose a safe location in advance (for example the default `~/Pictures` folder).

## Feedback

If you have any feedback, please reach out to me through the issue panel.

## Contributing

Feel free to contribute adding new icons to the repository. Just make a new PR and I will evaluate your request.

To get started use the `default.svg` file wich represent the basic GNOME icon.

**Some notes on new icons**

- name the icon `{something}_folder.svg`

- icons _should_ be of the outline type

- icons _should_ follow the bi-color style

- If a logo is not recognisable anymore after you change the colors you can leave the original, trying to be as much consistent as possible (like the VS Code icon).

- for more information check the [property-reference](#property-reference)
