Genome 11 – Icon Theme for Windows 11

Sci-fi icons for Windows 11

Genome 11 changes the icons you see every day: folders, special folders like Documents, Downloads and Pictures, drives, This PC, the Recycle Bin, Control Panel, File Explorer’s sidebar and the icons of your everyday files.

Every icon is built from the same materials: a deep blue woven mesh with a DNA helix glowing through it, glass, brushed silver and small amber lights. Your desktop looks like the inside of a research lab.

The Cosmic Genome wallpaper

A giant DNA helix floating in deep space, with the left side kept dark and clean so your desktop icons stand out. It comes in four shapes, and ThemeControl gives each of your screens the one that fits it:

• 16:9 – 3840 × 2160 (4K)
• 16:10 – 3840 × 2400
• 21:9 ultrawide – 5120 × 2160
• 32:9 super ultrawide – 7680 × 2160

Your icons and your wallpaper stay separate: the wallpaper is only applied when you click Apply wallpaper, and Restore previous wallpaper brings yours back anytime.

Matching mouse cursors

A full set of Genome cursors for Windows 11, including the animated busy and working pointers, so even your mouse matches the theme.

Bonus app icons

Genome-style icons for popular browsers, creative tools, office, chat and gaming apps. Put them on any folder or shortcut you like to give it a special look.

Folders that keep their design

Windows 11 normally fills a folder’s icon with previews of the photos and documents inside, which covers the folder’s art. Genome 11 does it differently, on purpose: the front of the folder stays closed, and only the top edge of what’s inside peeks out. You can still tell at a glance which folders hold files, and every folder keeps the Genome look.
