Axismundi Navigation Icons is an authoring plugin: it adds a “Navigation Icon”
panel to the block sidebar for navigation items, where you type a Material
Symbols ligature name (e.g. home, article, category, sell, tag,
folder). The icon is inserted before the item label.
Supported blocks:
- Navigation Link (
core/navigation-link) — also covers the page / post / category / tag / custom link variants, which are the same block. Page links default topages, category links tocategory, and tag links tolabelwhen no custom icon is authored. - Submenu (
core/navigation-submenu). - Home Link (
core/home-link) — shows thehomeicon by default, with a “Show home icon” toggle to opt out. - Page List (
core/page-list) — shows thepagesicon by default for generated page items when the list is placed inside a Navigation block, with a “Show item icons” toggle to opt out.
A core/navigation style variation, “Vertical item”, stacks the icon above the
label (M3 Navigation Bar / Rail vertical item) and moves the active indicator
onto a 56×32 icon slot; the unstyled default keeps the icon beside the label.
The Axismundi theme keeps the Material Design 3 navigation spec and the item
baseline (pill, state layer, active indicator), the Material Symbols font
(registered in theme.json) and the .material-symbols-outlined box contract
(icons.css). This plugin owns the icon data and its insertion, the item-layout
style variation, the front-end icon-click delegation, and — for the items it
restructures — the submenu disclosure arrow.
