It would be great if the category icons worked also in the lefthand sidebar:

I did some modifications on my fork to add support in the sidebar.
Iā€™m not sure this is entirely okay this way, so posting here for now. I would gladly create a PR on the official repo if valid.

To test, install a new component from https://github.com/Arkshine/discourse-category-icons and provide the branch feature/sidebar-support (click on the Advanced button)

Note: you will have to fill in your settings again. Donā€™t forget to disable the official one.

Sounds like a jolly good idea! Why not put that in anyway now - it will automatically comb your code modifications to ensure it is good on the linting front which can be helpful.

Or do you want to kick the tyres with it a bit more first?

No, Arkshine doesnā€™t want kick any more tyres :rofl:

I really would like to see this adopted. Moving all settings here, there and everywhere is lousy job if this could jump in the original one.

Sorry, I forgot to answer here :smile:

I posted here for testing purposes and because with some chance someone from the team would validate my modifications.

I made a PR now.

While icons arenā€™t supported in core (yet?), work has been made toward this kind of customisation:
