How to download and use an icon?

Icons on this web site and elsewhere on the internet are available either as individual .ico files or as zipped collections of multiple .ico files.

To download an icon set, click on the blue download button as shown in the image. Your download should start after.

Screenshot of an icon set's page. The download button is outlined in red.

You should have a zip folder once downloaded. You will need to extract the files inside the folder to use them. To do so, right-click on the .zip folder, click on 'Extract All...' in the pop-up menu, then extract using the window that pops up.

To download an individual icon, click on the small floppy disk icon that appears when you hover over an icon in a set, or click on the download button on the icon's page.

If you have successfully downloaded the file, you'll end up with an .ico file in your specified download location.

Using the icons

Icons can be used to customize shortcuts, folders or USB sticks.
Here's how to apply icons on shortcuts (assuming you have Windows 7 or newer):

  1. Right click a shortcut of your choice (signified by the shortcut icon on the bottom left of the icon) and click Properties in the pop-up menu.
  2. A window titled "{shortcut name} Properties" should show up. Click on Change Icon...
  3. In the Change Icon window, click Browse to locate your specified .ico file. Click OK in the window once it is selected.
  4. To apply the icon to the shortcut, click OK or Apply. The icon should now show up on that specified shortcut.

For applying icons on Folders:

  1. Right click a folder of your choice and click Properties in the pop-up menu.
  2. In the {folder name} Properties window, click the Customize tab and click Change Icon... under Folder icons.
  3. Click Browse in the change icon window and locate the specified .ico file.
  4. Click OK when done and click either OK or Apply to apply the icon.

You can also create tiny shortcuts to web pages with embedded icons using this free online tool.

The Icon Composer is missing many templates for the buttons. Please add as many new buttons templates as possible with new colour choices.
