It would be just a little aesthetic enhancement: when you add an attachment to a note, the icon near the attachment will be not “J” but the icon of the type of file.

Yes I’m thinking about changing this. For files I think I’ll put a generic “file” icon for now. For note links, I’m not sure but I’m thinking about putting no icon at all. It’s just a link after all so there’s no need to make it look different, but I’m open to feedback on this.

[image] laurent: For note links, I’m not sure but I’m thinking about putting no icon at all. I like the fact that a link to another note is denoted somehow. It does not have to be the J icon, but it should be marked somehow. Maybe this could be optional via a setting.

This can already be customized via css

I agree with @tessus . Also (for unnaturally fussy people like me!) having an icon for non Joplin links would aid formatting / layout. Example: I have a collection of links; some internal, some not. It produces a “staggered” list. [joplin2] A suggestion could be to have just two icons; one that …

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but is there a resource which explains how to do this? I would love to be able to change the internal links to just be a different colour (thereby still indicating that they are internal links, but getting rid of the black J which I find highly off-putting), but…

@cwloka welcome to the forum. You could try adding the below to your userstyle.css . I’ve not tested it to make sure there are not any unforseen alterations elsewhere in Joplin but for me this switches off the resource icons and turns internal links to red. Red is probably not the best colour to us…
