[FEATURE_REQUEST] MaterialDesignIcons

[ExXxtr3me]

Would it be possible to support also MaterialDesignIcons (https://materialdesignicons.com) ?
Fontawesome is missing many icons for apps like Plex, Nginx, Jallyfin, Sonarr, Radarr aso.

Sure, this is a good idea. I was actually thinking about implementing support for Simple Icons, as they are light-weight SVGs with logos from a wide range of apps and services.

I will look into Material Design Icons, but their package is 200kb, and they don't seem to have an API, so I will have to see if there is method of implementing that won't have an impact on performance. Will take a look either this evening or tomorrow evening and get back to you here :)

Awesome, thank you very much for considering it. Don´t know if it helps, but homeassistant supports them, maybe there is some way for you to look how they do it?

SimpleIcons look also nice. 👍

Hey @ExXxtr3me
I've implemented support for your Material Design Icons in #141 - which when merged, will be released in V1.5.7, which you can pull down from DH with the :latest tag.

You can use it by setting icon to mid-[name-of-icon], e.g. icon: mdi-alien

Enjoy :)

[Lissy93]

Merged.
I forgot to say, that the icon package is only loaded in if one or more of your items are using mdi icons. That's the same as font-awesome. So if you combine both FA and MDI icons, you might experience a hit in performance, so it's best to choose one or the other.
Btw, if you're enjoying the app, please consider Staring the repo. I think it helps others find it :)

Wow, that was fast. Thank you very much.
