Custom Icons and Colours for Views
completed
It would be cool to be able to set custom icons (or choose from a pre-set bunch of icons) for views.
At the moment, we have icons for List, Calendar, Board, etc, but it would be great if we could put our own in.
For example, I have a list for "Completed Tasks". This gets the same icon as my "current tasks" and "urgent tasks" lists. It would be great to be able to give them unique icons and colours so they are easily identifiable. Like you could have a green tick for completed items, a red exclamation point for urgent items, a stop sign for items blocking others, etc etc.

Hey, everyone!
We are happy to share that Custom Icons for Views is now available for all Workspaces!
To select an icon, open your view's settings via the "Customize" button. Next to your View's name you'll see the option to select an icon.
Please refresh to ensure you are using the latest version of the app. Thanks!

Need to be able to set a white background for this to work sensibly otherwise transparent icons are a mess. Also ability to change the colour background without then having to re-upload the image

Michael Van Doorn Amazing! I already customized a couple of my views with new icons. Thank you!
I noticed I can't change the icon for a form View. Is that intentional?
Additionally, is Clickup considering the color options? To color the view tabs up top?
Michael Van Doorn
Clemence Wiart: Glad you're enjoying it!
"I noticed I can't change the icon for a form View. Is that intentional?"
Currently this is intentional due to Form views not having a "Customize" menu. We're looking into other ways to surface this option!
"Is Clickup considering the color options? To color the view tabs up top?"
We're exploring introducing a limit set of colors but no plans to introduce custom colors (Full HEX options). More details to share here soon!

Michael Van Doorn Well done on the release!
Pleeeeease custom folders for Views tabs for organisation purposes! 🙏

Michael Van Doorn Missing one area with this - Docs, Dashboards, Whiteboards, Forms that are in the Sidebar can't have their icons changed.
Could you make it so we can change these icons as well? Otherwise we can end up with 2 different icons for the same sort of thing (e.g., if we don't want a blue icon for Docs - we can do this in Views but not the Sidebar).
Guy Mannerings
Michael Van Doorn Could also do with being able to use built-in emoticons, rather than just they grey ones. E.g., this trophy symbol in colour as opposed to the grey, in-built one.
Michael Van Doorn
Guy Mannerings: Updating the sidebar icon is planned!
Guy Mannerings
Michael Van Doorn Great! Thanks!
Clemence Wiart
Michael Van Doorn Another note worth mentioning: when you change the icon of a view, if that view is in your favorites, that icon isn't changed in the Favorites sidebar!

I think the task titles make it easier to highlight, because a list with many tasks would be easier if the text could be colored red (for example). Thanks.

Hey, everyone!
We'd love to hear more about the request for custom colors; How would this functionality assist your workflow? In what use cases are you wanting to sett colors for your view icons?
Liam
Hi, this looks really useful. Huge fan of using icons here 👋 I can't wait to use!

Coming soon!
Guy Mannerings
Michael Van Doorn Cool! Colour options, too, or grey icons only?
I'm starting to like the coloured ones in 4.0.
Michael Van Doorn
Guy Mannerings: We are not planning to support colors for Custom Icons at the moment.
Guy Mannerings
Michael Van Doorn So we can stick with the default ClickUp ones, which would be coloured, or use the grey custom ones if we like?
Michael Van Doorn
Guy Mannerings: Correct! Default icons will remain colored as you see in the 4.0 layout today
Stacey Lopez
Michael Van Doorn Will we be able to "group" by the icon, or will it still only be by View Type? Would be most useful if we can group by the icon.
Michael Van Doorn
Stacey Lopez: Current implementation will remain unchanged (grouping by type). I'd recommend opening a separate feature request once this functionality is released.

Michael Van Doorn I would also appreciate that it was easier to search the appropriate icons, doesn't bring up the symbols I'm searching for when I use the search bar. AI function would be good here. Maybe a wish of its own that has its own mail?
Clemence Wiart
Michael Van Doorn there's already a separate feature request for custom grouping of views... still waiting on that 5 years later :(
That one has 3x more upvotes than this, would be nice to roll it out before asthetic changes? Although also useful for sure.
Daniel Scheffknecht
Indeed, this would be great for keeping on top of things when there are a lot of views.
Odette Toppin
Ditto please! For example, I want the option to change the default ico for Docs from the notepad. Currently, I can add something else to it but I don't want two, just want to replace.
