Welcome to the official TechyPad Icon SDK repository! This is the central hub where the community shares their custom designs to completely customize the TechyPad experience, and where creators can learn how to build their own packs.
- Browse the icon packs in this repository or on the community forums.
- Download the
.techypadiconpackfile you want. - Open the TechyPad Desktop App.
- Double-click the downloaded
.techypadiconpackfile (or drag and drop it into the app). - The app will automatically verify its security with our servers and install it!
Icon packs allow you to completely customize the look of your TechyPad! By creating a custom icon pack, you can override the default icons of any plugin (like Discord, OBS, Premiere Pro, etc.) with your own designs.
Icon packs are designed to be extremely easy to create and share—no coding or compiling required!
Create a new folder somewhere on your computer (e.g., my_awesome_icons).
Inside that folder, create a file named manifest.json. This tells TechyPad about your pack. Use this template:
{
"id": "com.yourname.awesome_icons",
"name": "My Awesome Icons",
"version": "1.0.0",
"author": "Your Name"
}Important
Make sure the id is unique so it doesn't conflict with other icon packs!
Create an icons/ folder next to your manifest.json. Place all your .png, .jpg, or .svg files in this folder.
When a user installs your pack, these icons will show up in the TechyPad Icon Library, allowing them to map your custom graphics to any button action!
Tip
Resolution: We recommend using 144x144 pixel square images for the best clarity on the physical device.
Because Icon Packs are meant to be easily shared by creators everywhere, they are not compiled into DLLs. They are simply .zip files!
- Open your
my_awesome_iconsfolder so you can seemanifest.jsonand theicons/folder. - Select both the
manifest.jsonfile and theicons/folder at the same time (e.g. press Ctrl+A). - Right-click on one of the highlighted items and compress them into a
.zipfile (e.g.,my_awesome_icons.zip).
Warning
Do not right-click the parent folder itself to zip it! If you zip the parent folder, the manifest.json will be hidden inside a sub-folder and TechyPad will fail to read it. You must highlight the internal files directly and zip them together.
Before submitting, make sure it works!
- Open the TechyPad app and go to Settings.
- Turn on Developer Mode.
- You can now load your raw
.zipfile directly into the app to test how it looks on your device.
We love community creations! You cannot share your raw .zip file directly with users because standard TechyPad apps will reject them for security reasons. Instead, submit it to us!
Once you are happy with your icon pack and have tested it locally:
- Go to submit.techypad.in in your web browser.
- Fill out the submission form with your name and pack details.
- Upload your raw
.zipfile. - Our admin team will review your pack. If it meets our quality and security guidelines, we will cryptographically verify it, package it into a secure
.techypadiconpackfile, and publish it on our Marketplace!
- No NSFW Content: Keep it clean and family-friendly.
- Copyright: Do not steal icons from other artists without permission.
- File Size: Try to keep your images under 144x144 resolution so they load instantly on the hardware.
The Icon SDK works alongside the rest of the TechyPad developer ecosystem.
