Are there Templates for the background or anything else?

Just download a svg file and wipe the sheets of any color & detail. Here, take one from me https://github.com/PHPeon/CustomIcons

Open it in Inkscape or any svg editor of your choice, i reccomend you make multiple copies of a wiped-clean sheet so you won't have re-download a model each time you want to make an icon

I posted a file called sheet.svg just fy, download it and make copies of it for as many icons as you want

But how to add those icons to the theme? Do I need to manualy copy them into corresponding folders or is there an automation tool for that?

Vlamboyant commented 2 years ago

I don't know, i just make them. Never implemented on my own, you can consider submitting your creations to the repo and wait until they're published in the standard release package

Ah, so that's how it works. Just make icons, post request for incorporating them into the theme and hope for the best... I'll try it as a last resort method.

Nonetheless, thanks!

Note: Don't forget to modify the icon-name inside the svg file.
