I've been trying to install custom themes for W8 for a while now. It works, but there are no icons installed. I want those beautiful custom folder icons and custom icons for my computer etc. I have searched, and the themes dont come with ico files, but there are other weird files like .mysql and other extensions. Is it just that these themes don't come with icons? Or is there something I am missing?

I installed the patch for W8 to recognize the themes, then put them in windows/resources/themes, then select the them in the display settings. Wat do?

I create icons I want. I simply save a desired image as .png (must be less than 500x500kb) and the go to convertico and save the .ico. From here I customize each icon as I desire: See my current desktop icons for example:
