Awesome, you found it! This is the first lesson to build your own icon pack, I promise you’ll get your dream icon pack in 10 minutes!
Before we start, I wanna ask you 2 questions.
Don’t worry, it’s so easy!
Package name: an identifier for a specific Android application, it should be unique.
There are some examples:
com.google.android.gm
com.twitter.android
Activity name: an entry of the application, usually there are only one activity on your launcher.
There are some examples:
com.google.android.gm.ConversationListActivityGmail
com.twitter.android.PostActivity
This is a rule of icon pack functionality, the launcher must know which icon should be used for an specific application. So you need to provide those configuration for each icon.
Next, you must prepare your icons resources, make all of them are .png files.
Firstly, click New
action.
Now you get a modal that contains logo
and icon pack name field
.
Choose logo and input your icon pack name, like that:
Click OK
, now you get your first icon pack project!
Then let us try to add the icons and adaptations. Click your icon pack project and go to detail page, switch page to categories, there are some built-in categories, you can edit them easily or you can also create your own categories.
You can click bottom add
icons button on any categories, and then choose one or multiple .png files.
Now you get all of them in the list, rename them if you needed. Then we must bind icons with your applications, we call it add adaptations
.
Click any icons, then click bottom add
adaptations button, now you can import information from installed app or edit it manually.
You can add multiple adaptations for one icon, for example, one calendar icon can be applied to Google calendar, Outlook Calendar or any others.
