Icon theme builder
Render one standard icon board, drop it here, get an installable XFCE icon theme.
Ask an image model for the standard 8×8 board below in any motif (green background,
no labels). Upload it and the server slices the 64 icons, keys out the green, maps each to its
freedesktop name, and packs a ready ~/.icons/ theme. First build free — then one $14.95 unlock covers unlimited XFCE icons + themes.
Ready-made themes

How to install it
- Unzip — you get a folder named after your theme.
- Move it into
~/.icons/(create it if needed). - Settings → Appearance → Icons → pick it. (Or
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/IconThemeName -s "<name>".) - Inherits Papirus for the long tail — keep Papirus/ePapirus installed.
- For
.conf/.iniicons, run the includedinstall-config-mime.shonce.
The standard board
- Solid pure-green background (
#00FF00), edge to edge — keys off any motif. - No text or labels anywhere (glyphs that are part of an icon are fine).
- 8 × 8 grid = 64 icons, one centered per cell, uniform size, square canvas.
- Fixed order (row by row), so the server maps every cell deterministically.
Reference template — feed this to your image generator with the prompt so it keeps the exact 8×8 layout, spacing, and green background, and just fills in the icons.
Download the template.
Create a single icon sheet on a solid pure-green chroma-key background (#00FF00), filling the entire canvas edge to edge -- flat green, no gradient, no vignette.
Layout (follow exactly):
- A precise 8 x 8 grid = 64 icons, evenly spaced with equal margins; square canvas (1024x1024 or larger).
- Exactly one icon centered per cell, all at the same uniform size (~75% of the cell), front-facing and upright, with a soft drop shadow contained inside its own cell.
- Absolutely no text, words, captions, or labels anywhere. (Symbolic marks that are part of an icon -- a gear, code brackets </>, a play triangle -- are allowed; written words are not.)
- Identical art style, lighting, and material across all 64 icons.
Style: A cohesive ocean & beach theme. Every icon sculpted from beach materials -- weathered grey driftwood, pale wet sand, smooth sea-glass in aqua and teal, coral, seashells, knotted rope, and aged brass/bronze nautical fittings -- sun-bleached, with tiny barnacle/starfish accents. Sandy-beige + ocean-teal palette. Hand-painted chunky game-icon style, rounded forms, soft shadows.
The 64 icons, left-to-right then top-to-bottom:
Row 1: home, desktop monitor, folder with a document, folder with a down-arrow, folder with a music note, folder with a picture, folder with a play triangle, plain closed folder.
Row 2: open folder, folder with a paper template, folder with a globe, empty trash bin, full trash bin, network globe, hard-disk drive, a star.
Row 3: a plain page, a text document, a spreadsheet grid page, a presentation/chart page, an executable program icon (a cog/chip on a page), a font glyph (a stylized letter "A"), a music note, a disc image (a CD/ISO).
Row 4: a zip/archive chest, a compressed bundle, a code page </>, a JSON page { }, an XML page, a shell script page >_, a config page with a gear, an INI page.
Row 5: a log page, a markdown page M-down-arrow, a database cylinder stack, a calendar, an address book, a terminal screen, a file-manager drawer, a web-browser globe.
Row 6: a hard drive, a USB stick, an optical disc, a camera, a printer, a scanner, a bluetooth rune, a wifi signal.
Row 7: a battery, a power button, a settings gear, a magnifying glass, a closed padlock, an open padlock, a logout door with arrow, a shutdown power symbol.
Row 8: copy (two pages), cut (scissors), paste (clipboard), a left back-arrow, a right forward-arrow, a refresh cycle, a plus sign, an X.
Style: A cohesive tanned-leather theme. Every icon crafted from stitched tan and saddle-brown leather with visible seams and stitching, brass rivets and buckles, embossed/tooled surfaces, and cream parchment insets -- worn and hand-tooled, small leather straps and laces as accents. Warm brown + tan palette. Hand-painted chunky game-icon style, rounded forms, soft shadows. (Everything else -- the green background, 8x8 layout, no-text rule, and the 64-icon list -- stays identical to the ocean prompt.)
The leather block is just the Style line — keep the ocean prompt's background, layout, no-text rule, and 64-icon list, and swap only that paragraph.
