NextUI Icon Component Template

This repository contains a template for creating icon components for NextUI devices.

What are Icon Components?

Icon components replace the system, tool, and collection icons used throughout the NextUI interface. You can provide custom icons for ROM systems, tools, and user-created collections.

Directory Structure

• manifest.json - Component metadata and icon path mappings
• preview.png - Component preview image (replace with your preview)
• SystemIcons/ - Icons for systems and main menu items
  • Collections.png - Collections menu icon
  • Recently Played.png - Recently played list icon
  • Tools.png - Tools menu icon
  • Game Boy Advance (GBA).png - System-specific icon (include tag in parentheses)
• ToolIcons/ - Icons for individual tools
  • Settings.png - Icon for the Settings tool
• CollectionIcons/ - Icons for user collections
  • Favorites.png - Icon for the Favorites collection

Getting Started

1. Replace the placeholder preview.png with a preview that demonstrates your icon style
2. Update the manifest.json with your component information (name, author, etc.)
3. Replace the placeholder icon files with your custom icons
4. Add additional icons as needed, following the naming conventions
5. Update the content and path_mappings sections in manifest.json for any new icons
6. When complete, commit your changes and update the NextUI-Themes catalog

Icon Requirements

• PNG format with transparency
• Recommended size is at least 200x200 pixels (the system will resize as needed)
• All icons should follow a consistent style
• System icons must include the system tag in parentheses (e.g., Game Boy Advance (GBA).png)
• Tool icons must match the tool name exactly (e.g., Settings.png for Settings.pak)
• Collection icons must match the collection folder name exactly

Critical System Icons

Make sure to include these important system icons:

• Collections.png - Icon for the collections menu
• Recently Played.png - Icon for the recently played list
• Tools.png - Icon for the tools menu
