Applying the snippet? about obsidian-dune84 HOT 2 CLOSED

thanks.

Yes, to display icons you need to modify my snippet. All you need to do is to know your folder names and assign them an icon.

short demo:

1. make a new folder in Obsidian and name that one Journal
2. open the command palette cmd+p on Mac, should be ctrl+p on Win/Linux and type "reload" for "reload app without saving"
3. You newly created folder (Journal) should have an icon now.

long demo

add your folder names:

1. First of all, open folder-icons-v2.css in a text editor of your choice.
2. consider this snippet is organized in 2 parts: the top section stores all available icons and after this section follows the ruleset section.
3. now search for "Journal" down below in the rulesets and replace that name twice (this because of "light" and "dark" theme) WITH the name of one (1) of your folders
4. open the command palette cmd+p on Mac, should be ctrl+p on Win/Linux and type "reload" for "reload app without saving"
5. You folder should have an icon now.

Note, you can assign Multiple Names to an icon. See again the example rule for "--openbook-icon". This is one ruleset -block:

/* Journal, Education, Training */
body:not(.is-mobile).theme-dark .tree-item-self.is-clickable.nav-folder-title:is([data-path$="Journal"], [data-path$="Education"], [data-path$="Training"]):hover>.tree-item-inner.nav-folder-title-content::after {
    filter: inherit;
}

.nav-folder-title:is([data-path$="Journal"], [data-path$="Education"], [data-path$="Training"]) .nav-folder-title-content::after {
    content: var(--openbook-icon);
}

this ruleset contains: "Journal", "Education" and "Training". Replace these names inside body:not(.is-mobile).theme-dark and .nav-folder-title:is with names of your folders. (you've to do it twice because of "dark" and "light" theme)

Example: for simplicity, I renamed my folders to A, B and C:

body:not(.is-mobile).theme-dark .tree-item-self.is-clickable.nav-folder-title:is([data-path$="A"], [data-path$="B"], [data-path$="C"]):hover>.tree-item-inner.nav-folder-title-content::after {
    filter: inherit;
}

.nav-folder-title:is([data-path$="A"], [data-path$="B"], [data-path$="C"]) .nav-folder-title-content::after {
    content: var(--openbook-icon);
}

Now if you don't like the icon given to A, B and C, search the head part of my snippet for another icon name (eg --bookmark-icon) and replace the content: var(--openbook-icon); declaration with, content: var(--bookmark-icon);.
