The Sweet 2.0 Icon Pack for Windows 11

Sweet 2.0 Icon Pack for Windows 11

Sweet 2.0 Icon Pack is a colorful Resource Redirect icon set built around thin neon outlines and bright accent colors. Instead of using solid, heavy icon shapes, the pack keeps things light with cyan, blue, lime green, purple, magenta, and pink lines that give supported Windows resources a much more energetic look.

The design is easy to recognize because most icons follow the same outline-based style. Monitor, apps, download, settings, trash, media, image, and other supported resources use simple shapes with glowing color accents rather than detailed 3D artwork.

This version is made for Resource Redirect in Windhawk. It changes supported Windows icon resources through the mod and does not require you to manually replace protected Windows system files. Wallpaper, taskbar styling, Start menu changes, and other interface effects remain separate customizations.

Neon Outline Icon Style

Sweet 2.0 gets most of its personality from color rather than texture. Cyan and electric blue appear across several system-style icons, while lime green, purple, and pink are used to separate media, settings, and other resources.

The thin outlines also make the pack feel lighter than glossy or heavily shaded icon sets. On a darker interface, the brighter colors stand out clearly without making the shapes difficult to read.

• Thin neon-style icon outlines
• Cyan, electric blue, lime green, purple, magenta, and pink accents
• Matching visual direction across supported system, media, settings, and folder resources
• Simple shapes that remain easy to recognize
• Designed for Resource Redirect in Windhawk
• No manual replacement of protected Windows system files
• Can be used independently from your Windows theme or wallpaper

1. Windows 11

Not every icon in Windows is guaranteed to change. Some applications use their own icon files, and folders that display thumbnail previews may continue to show those previews instead of the replacement resource.

• Windows 11
• Windhawk installed
• Resource Redirect mod installed and enabled
• The Sweet 2.0 pack extracted to a permanent folder
• A ZIP extraction tool

Before You Install

Keep a copy of your current Resource Redirect settings before changing the icon path. That gives you an easy route back to your previous setup if you decide to switch packs later.

Once Sweet 2.0 is active, leave the extracted folder where it is. Resource Redirect loads the icon files from the saved path, so moving or renaming the folder can stop the pack from loading. Windows customization remains deeply committed to making folder paths emotionally significant.

If the Icons Do Not Change

Check that Resource Redirect is enabled and that the saved path points to the actual extracted Sweet 2.0 folder rather than the ZIP file itself.

If the path is correct but older icons remain visible, restart Windows Explorer. An icon-cache refresh may also be needed for resources Windows is still loading from cache.

Why Do Some Folders Still Show Previews?

Windows can display thumbnail previews instead of the regular folder resource. Resource Redirect also provides a Disable folder thumbnails option if you prefer to see themed folder icons more consistently.

Applications that use their own icons may remain unchanged as well. That is normal and does not necessarily mean the pack failed to load.

How to Remove Sweet 2.0 Icon Pack

1. Open Windhawk: Select the installed Resource Redirect mod.
2. Open Its Settings: Find the custom path currently pointing to the Sweet 2.0 folder.
3. Restore Your Previous Setup: Replace the Sweet 2.0 path with your earlier configuration, or remove it if you want the default Windows resources again.
4. Save the Changes: Apply the updated Resource Redirect settings.
5. Restart Explorer: Restart Windows Explorer so the previous or default icons can reload.
6. Delete the Pack Later: Remove the extracted Sweet 2.0 folder only after Resource Redirect is no longer using it.

Final Word

Sweet 2.0 gets its character from thin outlines rather than heavy shapes. Cyan, blue, lime, purple, and pink accents give the supported icons plenty of color while keeping the design light and easy to recognize.

You can use the pack as the only visual change on your desktop or combine it with a separate theme later. Either way, the neon outline style already gives supported Windows icons a very different personality.
