Default Reaper ICON Project



Reaper ICON Project


Hey there! I'm pro digital designer, doing it for last 10 years. I have been creating icons and themes for Reaper for years for my personal use. Today, I would like to introduce this icon set to the public. These vector-based icons are created in 2x for high-resolution displays, but they can be used on any screen resolution. I have designed most of the icons for functions that I use, so you need to make sure that they contain the specific icons you need right now. Redrawing all the icons takes a lot of time and effort for things that I myself do not use. Moreover, you can leave comments or request specific icons for future updates.



All icons were made in all 3 states by hand, and you can use them for any dark themes.




I want to start a thread here to collect feedback and have a place to discuss some ideas, find people who are as interested in customization as I am. Currently, I am working on a clean and industry-ready theme for Reaper and updates for this package. This is my passion, so I work on it only in my free time.



--------------------------------------


Right now I have ~50 toolbar icons (completely covers my personal workflow).
And ~30 FX icons.




BUY Reaper ICON Early Access Pack




Bonus: Splash Screen + App Icon





Have an idea to finish all icons, but I need some motivation to do so
If you would like to get EARLY Pack and receive all my future updates for this project, feel free to support me on Patreon.

Or you can buy it on GUMROAD
https://reapericon.gumroad.com/l/reapericon

If you want to contact me you can text me here or anikeevproduction(dot)gmail.com
Have a good one

Default Finally

Finally someone made a usable Icon for Reaper on macOS. Thanks very much!
The only thing is, your Toolbar-Icons are quite big compared to original ones.

Am I missing something?

Kind Regards

They were made in the same frame size (200) as standard Reaper icons, only with thicker lines for better visibility.

Nice Icons and thanks for sharing.

Just my personal preference comments. I gravitate more towards icons with more contrasting colors and minimal use of text. When they are grouped on a toolbar, it becomes quicker to identify one button from the other. When they use one particular color and are combined with texts, I find myself having to spend more time examining and reading the button when trying to work quickly.

Icons without text, it's examples

Wonderful idea! I hate the fact that the stock and custom icons always look like all over the place. If you can sustain this project with Patreon (just got a new subscriber ) I think it would be wonderful to create a big library with professionally looking icons over the time.

Thanks and I hope you will continue creating. There have been many attempts but yours seems to be the smoothest one I have seen so far.

looks great. I'd love to check out your themes, too. Devs should consider to hire you for Reaper 7 theme overhaul and modernization GUI in REAPER is one of its major issues in my opinion.

Is there a way to have the icons have more distinction between on and off? I really like to have a color change so that I can see settings with peripheral vision. I worry that these icons would have me needing to take a second glance. They look really, really good though

Great work! I've also done quite a lot of UI work over the years, so its always been painful to use Reaper when I finally have some spare time to do music

One minor thing (for me) is the use of colours that could clash with whatever theme a user uses. So a monochrome option and 1-5 different colour sets (just dreaming here) would be lovely.

Looking really slick, loving the splash icon screens too. Although not sure you need the copyright text on it? I guess it helps fill in that space.

On your splash screen designs instead of the small copyright text (which isn't on the original splash), you could instead have the acronym for Reaper. Could work perhaps?

Thanks for an idea. Splash is reference to Apple design guide from Logic splash, personaly like it. And copyrights is like OFF White style element as well. Just love how it looks
