How about allowing Icon Packs to replace common icons in one go from settings - as well as changing individual icons

[yaichenbaum]

@mdtauk Do you have in a mind a dialog with a preset of icons users can choose from?

That is of course the way Win32 does it. I probably think it would be more of a Change Icon button, which opens a file picker dialog, allowing you to pick an *.ico /.png /.svg etc file.

As for an icon pack, I guess you would need some kind of zip file containing the image files and possibly some kind of JSON file assigning or naming the folder and file types, each icon is for. This would be some kind of format you decide on.

Ubuntu and Android supports custom icon packs which when loaded by a launcher or shell tweaks tool, will change a bunch of icons in one go.

If you added support for icon packs, you could detect of an icon pack is installed, and display a dialog showing all icons included, for a quick swap out - but also allow picking a custom image to use.
