Just wondering if there are libraries for TW of additional icons?

I looked and I couldn't find any apart from FontAwesome, which are not really "icons" in the normal sense. I'd rather not mix up font glyphs with standard image icons for interface buttons.

I understand its quite easy to add an icon but its really not so easy to find designs that stylistically fit what already exists. And, TBH, I'd rather not be spending time drafting one-off design kludges.

Any knowledge you have of libraries that already exist for TW I would really appreciate.

Best wishes
Josiah

Hi Josiah

I can recommend https://thenounproject.com/ as a good source for icons and inspiration (generally they are available as downloadable SVG files). Many of the listed designs fit quite well with TiddlyWiki’s style.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Google has some nice material design icons that can be downloaded as png or svg: https://material.io/icons/

Icons8 provides an even more extensive library of icons: https://icons8.com/
