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

  1. On Anki, open the addon's files: go to Tools > Add-ons > deck_icons > Show files
  2. On your files explorer, go to to the user_files folder
  3. 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
  4. If you don't add an icon, default.png will be used

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): /, \, #, :. Thanks to an anonymous comment for pointing that out!

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! Here is the addon page on GitHub.

If you enjoy this addon, you can support me by buying me one coffee or more on this website ! I talk about how I created this addon on my website on which you'll also find blog posts (in French) about study tips for medical school.
