This add-on allows you to add icons to your decks

On Anki, open the addon's files: go to Tools > Add-ons > deck_icons > Show files
On your files explorer, go to to the user_files folder
Add icons you'd like for your decks
- They should be in the png format.
- They should be named as the deck you want the icon for
If you don't add an icon, default.png will be used (you can modify it to your liking)

Examples

Here are some "deck name"-"icon name" pairing:

"Language" and "language.png"
"Language::English.png" and "English.png"

Your icon's name (hence your deck's name) should not contain the following characters (the list might not be exhaustive): /, \, #, :.

Here what it can look like, combined with the amazing Custom Background Image and Gear Icon by The AnKing.

Where can you find icons?

There are plenty of them on the internet. I love flaticon, that's where I found the icons in the example above. They were made by Freepik.

Troubleshooting

Let me know in the comments if you run into troubles. I cannot promise I'll be a good enough coder to solve them, but I'll try my best!
