How to Change Your Folder Icons to Match macOS Big Sur's Aesthetic

Are you tired of looking at the same old folder icons on your Mac? Well, good news! With the release of macOS Big Sur, it's now easier than ever to change your folder icons to match the new aesthetic. In this article, we'll show you how to customize your folder icons using icns format.

To get started, you'll need to download a custom icon in icns format. You can find these icons online or create your own using an image editing software. Once you have your icon, follow these steps:

• Drag the icon you downloaded (it should be in .icns format) to the 'Get Info' window in the upper-left corner.

• Choose Slack and hit CMD + I or right-click and choose 'Get info'.

In this example, we'll be changing the Slack icon to one that matches the Big Sur aesthetic and is more Dark Mode-friendly. While things can get a bit trickier on iOS, it's actually incredibly easy to change a Mac app icon.

There are other sources for custom Mac app icons as well, including the macOS Icon Gallery, Gumroad campaigns, and more. For example, you can change the GarageBand icon, but you can't change the icons for things like Music, Safari, or Messages. Apple allows you to change app icons for some but not all of its applications.

The new macOS Icon Pack website has emerged on the web with nearly 3,000 different icons from which to choose. Some of these icon changes have proven to be controversial, but macOS Big Sur actually makes it easy to use custom app icons. As such, many third-party applications have also redesigned their icons to match the new Big Sur aesthetic.

With the release of macOS Big Sur, Apple redesigned all of its stock Mac app icons with new colors and a new square shape. We've added the few present icons to the folder as well! These have a very distinct look, shiny and modern, with shadows and gradients.

Whether you're looking for custom icons for your favorite apps or just want to give your Mac a fresh new look, there are plenty of options available. So why not give it a try? With these simple steps, you can easily change your folder icons to match the Big Sur aesthetic and make your Mac experience even more enjoyable.
