Additional Emblems for LM 17.1 Nemo

Post by Jotam »

I very much enjoy the possibility of assigning emblems to files and folder in Nemo (since LM 17.1 Rebecca Cinnamon). Thanks to all developers for implementing this option.

My question: Is it actually possible to customize those emblem icons? I'd really like to add some of my own icons for use as folder emblems. How and where can I do that?

Create a folder named .icons in /home/yourusername
Create or download a new icon set and place it in that folder.

Does this really work for emblems? Your link seems to deal with icon sets. But I'm not talking about folder icons here, but the new emblem functionality.

Yes, it works for emblems. Here are the emblems I get after installing the acvamarin icon set.

Sorry, but I think we have a missunderstanding here. Of course what you suggest will work in the sense that it gives me different emblems from the ones I was offered before under the Mint-X Theme. But I don't want different emblems, I want more!

My aim is to stay with the standard Mint-X Theme and just increase the choice of emblems I get. For example, I would like to add a "book" emblem for my ebook folder. When I just change the Theme, I will still remain with the same options for emblems as before (e.g. "Important", "Mail", "Games", "Multimedia", etc.) But I'd like to add another option for an emblem called "Books". Is that acutally possible?
