This sort of seems to be mentioned in a few places, but I couldn’t find a clear answer — a way to work around this, or “it’s coming” in the sidebar or the component, or “nope”, etc… I’ve enabled the experimental sidebar on my Discourse-hosted site. I get colored blocks next to my categories. And no…

Just dropping a quick note here, we’re working on making the category icons and tag icons theme components compatible with Sidebar in the short term. This should land by next week. Longer term though, we intend to make customizable icons for category or tags a core feature.

[صورة] Craig Constantine: I couldn’t find a clear answer — a way to work around this, or “it’s coming” in the sidebar or the component, or “nope”, etc… The current answer is that we don’t have any specific plans for this. There’s been some discussion about making category icons a first class…

The category icons component overrides a core category link renderer to add its icons. The sidebar, for good reason, doesn’t use the same renderer, so we need to add a way to extend/override the sidebar category links in core before a component can do something here. Similar story for tags, but it’…

We’ve been talking internally about getting closer to parity of features between tags and categories, and to let tags be decorated with colors in the same way as categories, and to let both be decorated with icons. Differentiating tags and categories with colors and icons can make a big difference …

[صورة] Dave McClure: @craigconstantine - what would you expect the sidebar to look like when icons are used? would you expect the icons to have the category color in this scenario? The same as they do in the old-style ≡ menu? I flipped off enable-exp-sidebar, blew out my browser cash, refres…

derp …you are of course correct. Here’s a screenshot of how icons should appear next to categories, in the sidebar when category-style is none: [Screen Shot 2022-11-01 at 15.48.17]

re: category icons i don’t particularly care for them myself. i agree it would be clutter IMO. i was more addressing @craigconstantine ’s concerns because they were sort of available in the legacy menu.

Yeah, this may be an unrealistic and unnecessary suggestion. The colors in the sidebar match the category colors used in many places in the UI.

yea myself, i have no issue with those colored bullets (other than the lock icons, but i can code them out). just give me the ability to mod the community section and i’ll be chuffed. :slight_smile:

[صورة] Tobias Eigen: The colors in the sidebar match the category colors used in many places in the UI. Yes, but that isn’t same as purpose :wink: What ever. I just don’t believe users can and will identify categories per different colors, so I have disabled them where I can and otherwise I …
