Would it be possible to include extra icons in a theme download?
I have 'Depth' installed, but would like to change the folders on the left most screen. Unfortunately I can't find matching icons...

A lot of the time the designer uses custom icons, so it's not possible to get the pack.
What you could do, instead, is use your own icons or find an icon pack on the internet and just replace all icons with those. Then you'll have some to spare.
I found a nice white pack on deviantart by googling "android icons". I loaded them into my picture gallery, and then just changed them from the main screen (long press > edit > choose picture and save). I'm using the same theme as you. The icon pack I used is called "Whiteout".

How do we do this? Most Icon Packs now are tied to select Launchers and only those Launchers...
How do I install Nox pack and then load these to my Gallery?

hey everyone got a quick question.
so ive searched and searched multiple forums and threads and i just can't find away to do this. what i would like to do is change some miui system icons with out applying a whole theme. like going into the icons of the theme and just changing the ones on my homescreen. i know that if you use a different launcher you can change them but i do not want to use an alternate launcher i would like to use the stock launcher. if anyone can't point me in the right direction on changing them feel free to post in here or message me.
thanks in advance
You can either open the theme you're using and modify or add the icons, or you can use Desktop Visualizer. You'll still have the app icons on your screen, you can just put them in a folder if you want. Use a Desktop Visualizer widget, don't use the shortcut.
If you need help changing your theme (or making an icon theme if you're not using a theme) you can pm me & I'll do it for you. Just send me the icons and name them what you want them to be. If you don't know how to name them properly, I can do it. I just need to know what you want the icon to represent.

7zip should work. Unzip the theme, and inside you'll see an "icons" file. Add a zip extension and extract. Add/replace the icons that you want - they have to be named the process name. For example, if you want to add an icon for the Market, you'd name it "com.android.vending.png". You wouldn't add the png extension since it's already there. The MIUI Music app would be com.miui.player.png, and so on. Once you've finished, rezip the icons and remove the zip extension. Then zip up the whole theme and change zip to mtz.
I know a lot of the popular process names off the top of my head because I do this a lot. It's actually faster for me to do it for you than to try to give a step by step guide, so if you run into issues send me a pm.

How do I install them quickly? I know of desktop visualiser but that is very slow and have to do 1 by 1. Is there any apps that I can use to choose/filter the icons that I want to use? Thanks

If your using a custom launcher such as launcher pro, apex, nova, etc. If you are using apex launcher for example search up apex icon pack on the play store then download the one you like, and apply from the launchers theme or appearance settings selecting the icon pack you want to use. Let me know if you still have questions.

extract the images from the rar and long press the icon to change it
ur
download some icon packs for apex from market go to apex settings themes there you will find the option to change your icon packs alone !!!
I guess this not new at all, but did not found it as a suggestion in the forum.
When i select to change an icon it would be nice to be able to select from an icon pack.
General support for icon packs would be nice too.
you mean to change an icon ? just download the icons you want,or make them,add them to your phone,then when you click it to edit you should see your icons folder via the gallery

You are able to manually change icons on the homescreen by holding down on the icon - edit - and select an icon pack from there. Icon packs such as Nox work well, as well as other ones by KovDev. We are working on including full icon pack support soon

Thx for the reply. I did try with just one icon pack (Flatcons White) to see if its working, but no icon pack shows up as an available option when trying to edit the icon. This is why i posted the suggestion in the first place. I will try with more packs.
Thx a lot for your time and effort on this great product!
Its still look like wallpaper mounted in the device , please bring us a huge update:highfive:
step by step
find the icons you want to use and copy them to your device,ie gallery
on the main screen press the icon you want to change until the edit box pops up,when it does press edit
the next box will have a pic of the icon at the top and the icon text underneath,press the icon
in the next box you should see a popup with your gallery in,press the gallery icon and find the icon you want to use.
hope this helps a bit have done a few screenies to show

What @alldroid said is very good.
I also recommend looking at Jeppe Foldager's Copy.com icon pack folder. They all image files so you can find them easily in your gallery.
Here is the link: https://www.copy.com/s/DxsaXLatvBGf/Share/Icons
Perhaps i was not clear. I know the procedure to change the icon. I just tried with Flatcons White icon pack and there was not option to select an icon from the library, so i thought this was not possible at all (copying icons one by one is not very practical)
I then tried Umbra icon pack and it worked fine (meaning i see it as an option to pick an icon from). So i guess some icon packs work with themer and some not
The one i mentioned before (Flatcons white) for some reason it does not work with Themer (works with nova, widgetlocker etc...), so i jumped into wrong conclusions. I wonder though why its not working
Thx a lot for your time again
cool
THANKS
this is coooooool¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I'm a big fan of Nox icons, it would be great to be able to apply icon packs with the Theemer.
If you can get the icons as images ie jpg etc then simply via themer,add as an image then associate with the program via hotspot and away you go

If your device is rooted, you can always use the Unicon app. It replaces all icons system wide. We are looking icon pack support, but it's an immense task to pull off.
I was able to get the themes working using Xposed and G3 Teakbox but cannot get the icons to change when selecting them individually (long press and change). I can change them to only the stock icons. I cannot see the icons from the other themes like I could on my G2
Does anybody know how to do this? Is these a hidden setting I am missing?
Anybody able to change icons on stock launcher?

Long click on the icon you want to change.
You will see a purpler brush thing on the corner of the icon.
click on the brush and a screen will pop up showing you different icons for it.
Select a icon.
Hit ok.
Use icon changer from the store and you can use any icon pack you want

I have tried this but I am not able to see any of the icons from the icon packs. I just see a handful of icons or I can go to the gallery to see pictures.
I cannot see any of the icons from the themes that I have installed. I can change the themes just not the icons. I have a G2 and know how it is suppose to work and am not sure if the feature is just is not available.
