Description

Category: Customization & UI

The Custom Sidebar Icons plugin allows you to personalize your Obsidian workspace by assigning unique icons to documents and folders. Whether you're pulling images from an online URL, referencing local file paths, or leveraging built-in Lucide icons, it provides various ways to visually distinguish your vault's contents. You can even embed SVG tags or Base64-encoded images to refine your setup. Once configured, the plugin helps you quickly identify sections or notes through easily recognizable symbols, eliminating the need to rely on standard text labels. This can be especially beneficial if you manage many nested folders or complex structures and want a more visual approach. With the ability to blend custom icons into your usual workflow, you gain an organized and aesthetically pleasing interface that makes navigating your vault more intuitive.

v1.0 Important Notice: Remaster and Breaking Changes

Version v1.0 of this plugin introduces breaking changes and a complete remaster.

  • Support for Obsidian 1.11: Aligned with the new "Settings Page Icons" feature in Obsidian 1.11, this plugin now allows you to customize icons for the settings page.
  • Future Roadmap: Features from versions prior to 1.0 (previously relying on CSS) are planned to be reimplemented using a new method in the future, and CSS-based configuration will no longer be supported.

Please be aware of these changes to ensure your setup continues to work correctly.
