Hi everyone,
Maybe its a dumb question but is there currently a way to change these icons per project?
With some digging I did find that a icon is defined in the projects.model. And that its set by default to fa.map (or book if its a library project). This made me wonder is there anywhere in the front-end interface where you can set such icon while creating a project?
Thanks

### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing i… ssues
### Please state which of feature you have in mind and describe what are its shortcomings?
There seems to be some basic family icon logic for the Loader model implemented but [it seems to always use a hardcoded default icon in the code](https://github.com/ynput/OpenPype/blob/aa6dc207f1cad419fd968dfd85d6d0b1923d55ba/openpype/tools/utils/lib.py#L545). We should be able to customize the colors/icons for families in the loader for better distinction between the families.
This feature originally existed in Avalon but seems to have been broken or lost since.
It would be much better if the icons here were customizable:
So that they could e.g. have icons like in this design proposal:
### How would you imagine the enhancement of the feature?
In the Settings UI I'd expect to be able to configure an icon and color for a particular family.

### Is there any more labels you wish to add?
- [X] I have searched labels and added any
### Describe alternatives you've considered:
_No response_
### Additional context:
I'd actually like the same functionality for setting icons/colors (or even thumbnails?) for assets as well but I feel like that would be a much bigger feature and should be separate of this issue.

Actually no - this is different. @Nielsm is asking about custom icons for Projects .
As far as I know there’s no ticket for that - I personally think being able to assign an icon and a color could actually be nice for a project. I don’t believe there’s an existing issue for this yet.
