Usage

Add Icons

To add a custom icon, click Add Website or Add URL Scheme in the setting.

• Only SVG format is supported.
• The plugin will auto compress icons to improve performance.
• The default icon (light mode) is required, while the dark mode icon is optional.
• For web icon, you can set multiple target for each icon. Domain supports the following format:
  • baidu
  • baidu.com
  • http://baidu.com
  • https://baidu.com
  • baike.baidu.com
  • baidu.com/about

Edit Icons

• You can download the icon via the download button besides it.
• Copy to dark (right arrow in the middle) is a useful button if you upload the dark mode icon to the light one.
• You can remove the dark mode icon if you don't need it.

Setting

• By default, both URL Scheme and WebSite icon are enabled. You could disable any of them in the plugin setting.
• There are two different Obsidian icons to help users better distinguish between Obsidian web links and note links.
• Obsidian Note Link icon is disabled by default. You can enable either internal link, external link, or both, or disable them entirely — it all depends on your workflow.
• You can customize the icon position (before or after the link), ensuring consistency with other plugins like Iconize.
