The Iconic plugin allows users to customize icons across various elements in Obsidian, offering seamless integration with the app's vanilla design. It provides access to over 1,300 icons and 1,900+ emojis that can be applied to tabs, files, folders, bookmarks, ribbon commands, properties, and more. Users can easily change icons with a secondary click and personalize them with theme-responsive colors or custom RGB selections. The plugin supports multiple languages and integrates smoothly with different Obsidian themes, adapting dynamically to theme changes. Designed for accessibility and aesthetic enhancement, Iconic empowers users to create a visually tailored workspace.
Happy new year, folks! 🎆
This is a maintenance patch to fix a variety of issues, a few of them stemming from recent Obsidian updates. Starting with this patch, Iconic will stick to supporting only the latest version of Obsidian, which is already how most community plugins work. The additional effort of testing older app versions back to 1.6.0 isn't really worthwhile for a plugin this complex.
If you're wondering about the extended delay with this release, it was just the capitalist machine crushing me down along with the rest of us. Sorry I left you all hanging. 🦥
⤿ Theme: Catppuccin by catppuccin
New features
- New emojis: Iconic now supports Emoji 17.0 from September 2025.
- For CSS developers: The plugin now exposes the current theme as a
data-themeattribute on thebodyelement, which you can use to create theme-specific styles if you wish.
Bugfixes
- Property icons: No longer break when a property name has uppercase letters.
- Tab icons: No longer behave strangely when popout windows are open.
- Rulebook priority: Icons now refresh instantly when dragging rules up and down, which stopped working in
1.1.4. - Duplicate rule: No longer duplicates the internal rule ID, which caused the plugin to get confused between duplicated rules. Any existing rules with this problem will be quietly fixed when the plugin saves (by toggling a setting, changing an icon, etc).
- Sidebar toggle buttons: Now correctly display their new icons from Obsidian
1.10. - Another Quick Switcher: Rule icons now appear in file search results.
Visual fixes
- Settings page: Supports the new "Setting Group" UI style introduced in Obsidian
1.11. - Rulebook: Slightly redesigned to better match the UI style used by Bases.
- Folder rules: Now show the correct default icon 📂 after creation.
- Rules and conditions: Now contained inside scrollable lists, instead of scrolling the entire dialog.
- Primary theme: No longer stacks multiple "blurs" when opening several dialogs on top of each other, which was causing slow performance in Rulebook dialogs.
