Removing default folder icon

[podloznyi]

Hello folks, is there anyway to remove/disable default folder icon?

[geoffreymcgill]

Hello. If you have a default.md, index.md, or readme.md in that folder, then you can set the icon config to any other icon value. For example, setting to icon: dot.

default.md

---
icon: dot
---
# Sample page

If you do not have a default.md, index.md, or readme.md file in the folder, you can add a index.yml file into the folder and that will allow for the same customization of the folder properties.

index.yml

icon: dot

At the moment, Retype does not have a way to completely remove the icon, although you can work-around that limitation by creating a transparent .png and linking to the that image. The following sample demonstrates setting the icon to a custom transparent .png file that you can add anywhere within your project.

index.yml

icon: "/static/blank.png"

Hope this helps.

Trick with .png worked for me, thanks!
