Issue description
Windows icons can use different visual styles at different sizes.
For example, a folder background may be shown in larger icon sizes, while smaller icon sizes only display the foreground symbol without the folder background. This improves readability and follows the visual conventions used by Windows.
However, the current Icon Maker does not support configuring different styles for different icon sizes. As a result, icons generated for smaller sizes still include the folder background, even when a simplified foreground-only icon would be more appropriate.
For icons with a folder background, the folder remains visible even at small sizes, where it reduces clarity and does not match the standard Windows icon style.
Expected behavior
Icon Maker should support size-specific icon variants.
For example:
| Icon size |
Expected style |
| Small sizes, such as 16×16 and 20×20 |
Foreground symbol only, without the folder background |
| Larger sizes, such as 32×32 and above |
Foreground symbol with the folder background |
The exact size threshold could be configurable or defined by the icon template.
Additional context
A number of icons currently included in the library also use the folder background at every size. These icons should be reviewed and updated to follow the Windows icon conventions.
How to reproduce this issue?
Design folder icon in icon maker.
