Adding More Icon Sets

Information for icon sets are stored in icons.json, and the icon image files are stored in icons/ folder. The notion-icons.js script (which is the uncompressed version of the injected script) receives icon data directly from this repository.

Use rename-icons.js to rename icons into a readable format (there is no back-end, so icons need to be named in the format of FOLDERNAME_#.png with # representing the #th icon (e.g. in icons/FD, there are FD_0.png, FD_1.png...FD_23.png).

To rename icons, run the below with FOLDERNAME being the folder name of the new icon set in icons/ directory.

node rename-icons FOLDERNAME

Use In The App (Not Recommended)

This is not recommended, but here is how to do it for macOS if you desire. The process should be similar in Windows. Install Asar

npm install -g asar

Navigate to the Notion.app/Resources folder

cd /Applications/Notion.app/Contents/Resources

Extract the app.asar file

asar extract app.asar app

Rename the current app.asar file so it's no longer used

mv app.asar app.asar.old

Open the index.js file in the renderer folder

open renderer/index.js

Navigate to around Line 124. Inside the notionElm.addEventListener("dom-ready", function () { function, right under the notionIpc.proxyAllMainToNotion(notionElm);, paste the below code.

🔴 Warning: The code below injects a JavaScript file remotely from an online CDN, which can be a security risk with untrusted sources. It is recommended you host your own file or manually paste the code from notion-icons-compressed.js in. The below code uses the jsDelivr CDN which takes the code directly from GitHub so it will receive updates.

document.getElementById('notion').getWebContents().executeJavaScript(`function getAsynchronously(n,t){var o=new XMLHttpRequest;o.onreadystatechange=function(){4==o.readyState&&200==o.status&&t(o.responseText)},o.open("GET",n,!0),o.send(null)}getAsynchronously("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/jayhxmo/notion-icons/notion-icons.compressed.js",function(n){let t=document.createElement("script");t.id="notionIconsScript";let o=n+"notionIconsWeb = false; currentPath = location.pathname; initializeNotionIcons();";t.innerHTML=o,document.body.appendChild(t)});`);

Save index.js, and you're set!

For those who want to use their own source or manually paste the code in, this is the uncompressed version of the above code:

function getAsynchronously(urlString, callback) {
    var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { 
        if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
            callback(xmlHttp.responseText);
    }
    xmlHttp.open("GET", urlString, true);
    xmlHttp.send(null);
} 
getAsynchronously('https://notion-icons-ewcyzotqur.now.sh/notion-icons.compressed.js', function(notionIconsScriptData) {
    let notionIconsScript = document.createElement('script');
    notionIconsScript.id = 'notionIconsScript';
    let iconsCompiledScript = notionIconsScriptData + 'notionIconsWeb = false; currentPath = location.pathname; initializeNotionIcons();';
    notionIconsScript.innerHTML = iconsCompiledScript;
    document.body.appendChild(notionIconsScript);  
});
