🎨 What is inside

Pixet includes a set of pixel icons that work well in many places on your PC.

Common uses include:

  • desktop shortcuts
  • folder icons
  • project folders
  • app launch areas
  • custom themes
  • personal organization

The icon set is built with a pixel art style, so each icon has a crisp and simple look. That makes it a good match for users who want a retro feel without clutter.

πŸ—‚οΈ File layout

After you download Pixet, you may see files such as:

  • icon folders
  • preview images
  • a readme file
  • a license file
  • a Windows app or installer package

If you see preview images, open them first to look at the icon set. If you see a folder of icon files, you can use those files in Windows folder settings or in supported apps.

βš™οΈ How to use the icons

Pixet can be used in a few common ways.

For folders

  1. Right-click a folder
  2. Choose Properties
  3. Open the Customize tab
  4. Choose Change Icon
  5. Pick an icon from the Pixet files
  6. Click OK and Apply

For shortcuts

  1. Right-click the shortcut
  2. Choose Properties
  3. Open the Shortcut tab
  4. Choose Change Icon
  5. Select a Pixet icon
  6. Save your changes

For personal setup

You can also keep Pixet as a visual pack for:

  • desktop themes
  • file organization
  • launchers that support custom icons
  • image reference while building your own layout

🧩 Best ways to keep files organized

To make Pixet easy to use, keep the download in one folder.

A simple folder setup can look like this:

  • Downloads
    • Pixet
      • Icons
      • Preview
      • Readme

If you plan to use the icons often, move the main folder to a place like Documents or Desktop. That makes it easier to find later.

πŸ§ͺ Quick first use

If you want to test Pixet right after download:

  1. Open the release file
  2. Look at the preview images
  3. Pick one icon you like
  4. Apply it to a test folder
  5. Check how it looks on your desktop

This helps you see the style before you change many folders at once.

πŸ› οΈ Troubleshooting

The file will not open

  • Check that the download finished
  • Make sure you extracted the ZIP file if needed
  • Try right-clicking the file and opening it again

Windows blocks the app

  • Confirm that you got the file from the releases page
  • Right-click the file and check its properties
  • Try running it again after the download completes

The icons do not appear

  • Make sure you selected the correct file type
  • Check that the file path still exists
  • If the folder moved, point Windows to the new location

The preview looks different from the icon

  • Some icons can look smaller in folder view
  • Try them on a desktop shortcut first
  • Use a high-contrast wallpaper if you want better visibility

πŸ“Œ System fit

Pixet should work well on most modern Windows PCs. It is suited for:

  • home computers
  • school laptops
  • work PCs with basic customization rights
  • personal desktops
  • low to mid-range systems

Because the app focuses on icons and simple files, it does not need heavy hardware.

πŸ” What makes Pixet easy to use

Pixet keeps the process simple:

  • download from one page
  • open the file
  • preview the icons
  • apply them to folders or shortcuts

The pixel style helps each icon stand out while still keeping a clean look. That makes it useful for users who want clear icons without a busy screen.
