Project icons generation

I have a group of projects that, due to external requirements, share the same first letter and the last word start with e or m. So all my project icons are either OM or OE. I get this look in the toolbox. For reference:

  • “GP es” I made that one with two rows
  • “OM” green, “OE” purple, “OM” brown, “OE” lighter green, normally generated by JB
  • “PE” generated by JB with me changing the display name in .idea/.name file

 This is barely ok because I have to create icons for every project. I was wondering if I can alter the generation process somehow, either changing the algorithm or configuring it. I would like to be able to configure:

  • The rules that select the letters
  • 2 lines instead of 1
  • Background color(s) to visually differentiate among groups

Besides, my icon is displayed smaller in IntelliJ windows and the other icon changes color every time the project is open, so I can't rely on color to locate a project:

 

Is there a way to do this?

Hi Sofia,

Currently there is no way to do it out of the box I'm afraid. You are welcome to vote for the corresponding feature request.

You can also browse the JetBrains Marketplace for a third-party plugin that does it, or write your own plugin using the official IntelliJ Platform SDK with Java or Kotlin.
