Kando comes with a few icon themes pre-installed. To add your own icons to Kando, follow these steps:
-
Create a new
icon-themes
directory in Kando’s configuration directory if it does not yet exist. Depending on your OS, this will be the following locations:Terminal window %appdata%\kando\icon-themesTerminal window ~/Library/Application Support/kando/icon-themesTerminal window ~/.config/kando/icon-themes~/.var/app/menu.kando.Kando/config/kando/icon-themes/ -
Create another directory for your icon theme inside the
icon-themes
directory. You can give it any name you like. -
Add your icons to the new directory. The icons can be in various formats, but we recommend using SVG files.
-
Restart Kando. Icon themes are only loaded when Kando starts.
-
Select your icon theme in the icon-theme dropdown in the icon picker in Kando’s menu editor.
