Line Icons - AEcolor Extended Set v1.0
by Christoph 'AEon' Loewe (c) 2026 (original design by kotonoha (c) 2019)
Background:
After finishing my Opus 13 Internal Icon Set (Flat) expansion, I wondered if it might be possible to "retrace" that icon set using vectors, as a fun side project. Looking through this forum I noted that Kotonoha had already created such an icon set, his Line Icons in 2019.
I immediately loved Kotonoha's black ink on yellowed script "feel" to his icon set. This made me switch from the classic Internal Icon Set (Flat), that comes with Opus 13, to this more calligraphic icon style. I was very much inspired to not only add "my version" of retro colouring, but to also "convert" my recent Opus 13 Flat AEicon Set (+101 icons) and the older Opus 12 Flat AEicon Set (+207 icons) into this style to completely re-populate Opus' menus. So here we are.
Description:
This collection of icons is based on, recolours and expands the original 293 Line Icons for Opus by kotonoha.
This icon set (package) contains a total of 620 icons: in large (32x32 pixels) and in small (22x22 pixels), they all have unique (compliant) icon names, with informative display names. Furthermore the icons have been sorted into categories.
- I recoloured Kotonoha's original 293 icons,
making them more reminiscent of Opus 13's Internal Icon Set (Flat). - I tweaked a very few of Kotonoha's icons for consistency.
- Based on this icon style I recreated my Opus 12/13 AEicons,
that expanded Opus’ Internal Icon Set (Flat) originally. - This expanded recoloured icon set adds 327 icons.
- As with the AEicons, the number of new icons for Opus' internal viewer has increased.

P.S. I hope Kotonoha is OK with me using the Line Icons in the above way, since I have not been able to reach the artist.
