🏠 Home Folder Icons (home_icons/)
Custom icons for home directory places, applied via gio metadata.
Place icon files (.svg or .png) in the home_icons/ directory if it's not placed yet, named after the target folder in lowercase (e.g., appimages.svg for ~/AppImages). Then run:
cd home_icons/
bash set_icons.shThe script iterates over all folders in $HOME and assigns a matching icon if one exists. After running, restart Nautilus to see the changes.
If you also want to change menu logo, replace with your menu logo svg and run the following command:
sudo cp dot_icons/menu_logo.svg /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/zorin-menu@zorinos.com/zorin-icon-symbolic.svgNote: Since some of the files in the config might contain absolute paths that refer to username 'sglbl', you can replace all matches with your username on VSCode after cloning/forking the repository.
Personal scripts — use at your own discretion.
