# Advanced: Generate your own flavour of Arcticons

To generate your own flavour of Arcticons, you need your environment prepared as described in [Preparing the codebase](/other-platforms/linux/contribute.md#preparing-the-codebase)

Afterwards, you need to create a TOML file containing one or more sections like this:

```toml
[arcticons-dark]
name="Arcticons Dark"
comment="A Line-based icon pack. (Version for dark themes)"
inherits="breeze-dark,Adwaita,hicolor"
overwrite=false
archive=false
src_color="#000"
color="#fff"
line_weight=2
src_paths=["icons_linux", ".arcticons/icons/black"]
```

* The section name is the destination folder.
* `name` is the name which will be put into the `index.theme`
* `comment` is the description which will be put into the `index.theme`
* `inherits` is the list of themes, which this theme will inherit (for icons which are not in this theme yet)
* `overwrite` describes whether the destination folder will be deleted or the generator will try to update the icons.
* `archive` describes whether an archive file of the destination folder should be created (Currently not working)
* `src_color` is the color of the source icons (the source icons used by Arcticons-Linux are `#000`)
* `color` is the color which should be applied to the icons. Possible values are all color recognized by CSS/SVG
* `line_weight` is the thickness of the strokes
* `src_paths` describes the paths where the generation script should look for icons, ordered by preference

To generate the icons, run `uv run scripts/generate_icons.py -c <your_toml_file>`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.arcticons.com/other-platforms/linux/advanced-generate-your-own-flavour-of-arcticons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
