So I recently redid a full system icon pack based on/ using the open source material design icons from google. I wanted to have an icon pack that could completely adapt my whole system to any colour I wanted, and ended up having to make my own.

I shared this recently here.

I’m releasing it very soon, and would love some ideas or tips I should consider in the last moments before I submit the finished first release?

So far I know I need many more app icons, but other than that would love some ideas/ tips. Thanks.

(I’d love a list of app names I need to name the app icons to so they automatically apply.)

Looking good.

One small idea to create chaos:

Is it possible to randomize the color for each icon? So you would have different colors for each icon

With the icons I’m releasing an “unfilled set”. And I have tediously made sure all my icons are single layer proper svg files without any styles or unnecessary metadata and no strokes. That way it’s super easy to run batch commands on the whole set. Say you wanna replace a colour, do a find and replace and command, it’s that’s simple. So for chaos you could just make a script to keep changing the fill as it goes through every icon.
