Exodus 11 Gold Windhawk Icons – Icon Theme for Windows 11

What if every system icon on your PC looked like it was cast from gold? Exodus 11 is a gold icon theme for Windows 11 that replaces more than 250 of the roughly 330 icons in the Windows system library with golden 3D artwork. These gold Windhawk icons are built around a single idea: gold. Use the free Windhawk tool, point it to the theme folder, and your computer, folders, drives and Recycle Bin all change at once. It is the Windhawk version of the icon theme at the heart of the Cryo64 Exodus release, where gold is the signature of the story.

More Than 250 Gold Windhawk Icons, Rendered in 3D

Every icon was modeled and rendered in 3D software, so the gold looks like real metal: polished, brushed and catching the light. The star of the set is This PC, a rounded gold computer with a glowing screen and a friendly green robot face. Around it you get a sculpted gold gear for Control Panel, a gold briefcase, a gold globe for Network, gold folders and two gold Recycle Bin buckets that show at a glance when it’s empty or full.
