Here are the instructions to get your themes & icons up and working.

Make sure you are using Prism Launcher 6.0 or later.

Installing Themes

• Download a theme above and copy the zip file to your Themes Directory.

  • Open your local Prism Launcher Themes folder:

    • on any OS: in Prism, select Folders > Widget Themes

    • on Windows: %appdata%\PrismLauncher\themes

    • on Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/PrismLauncher/themes

    • on Linux: ~/.local/share/PrismLauncher/themes

    • on Flatpak: ~/.var/app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/data/PrismLauncher/themes

• Unzip the newly downloaded theme in the themes folder. Make sure the folder structure looks like .../PrismLauncher/themes/your_theme_name/theme.json.

• Restart Prism Launcher, then open the global settings. In the Launcher section, click the User Interface tab, and under Widgets (make sure you’re changing Widgets and not Icons), choose the newly added theme. Click the Close button, and enjoy your fresh new Prism Launcher.

Installing Icon Packs

• Download a Icons pack above and copy the zip file to your Prism Launcher Directory

    • on Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/PrismLauncher

    • on Linux: ~/.local/share/PrismLauncher

    • on Flatpak: ~/.var/app/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher/data/PrismLauncher

• Extract the contents of the zip into the iconthemes folder (if the folder doesn’t exist do this next step). Make sure the folder structure looks like .../PrismLauncher/iconthemes/your_theme_name/index.theme.

  • In the PrismLauncher folder, create a new folder named iconthemes (you should only have to do this once).

• Restart Prism Launcher, then open the global settings. In the Launcher section, click the User Interface tab, and under Icons (make sure you’re changing Icons and not Widgets), choose the Custom icons. Click the Close button, and enjoy your new icons.

Submitting Themes

  • In this newly created folder add files named README.md, theme.json, themeStyle.css and theme.json.license.

    • In theme.json.license add the text below, and replace "Year" with the current year, replace "Theme Owner" with the theme creator nickname, "License name" with the license of your theme.

    SPDX-FileCopyrightText: "Year" "Theme owner"
    
    SPDX-License-Identifier: "License SPDX Identifier"

    • (Note: theme.json and themeStyle.css are the files that contain your theme.)

    • Format your README.md just like this Template Readme and replace every text between a " like "This" with their respective use.

  • Add a screenshot of your theme and rename it to preview.png.

    • Then create a file named preview.png.license and add the text below, and replace "Year" and Screenshot owner" with their respective use.

    SPDX-FileCopyrightText: "Year" "Screenshot owner"
