Beta XenForo Category and Forum Customize 2026-04-12

Add-on Functions and Working Logic

This add-on is a powerful tool designed to enhance the visual presentation of your XenForo nodes (Categories, Forums, Pages, Links, Search Forums). It completely redesigns how node icons and titles are displayed on your forum list and inside individual view pages.

Working Logic: The add-on modifies XenForo's default node templates. Instead of standard basic icons, it introduces a structured, flexbox-based "icon box" layout that accommodates fully customizable FontAwesome icons. Administrators can set a distinct icon for each individual node via the Node Edit form in the Admin Control Panel. Furthermore, the add-on beautifully injects these customized icons into the main titles when users navigate into the respective category, forum, or page views.

Key Features:

• Custom Node Icons: Easily assign specific FontAwesome icons to any node (Category, Forum, Page, Link, etc.) through standard XenForo admin node settings.
• Modern Icon Box Design: Replaces legacy node icons with a stylish, bordered icon-box layout utilizing your theme's properties for elegant contrast and rounded corners.
• Global Style Settings: Take full control of the appearance! Adjust Icon Size, Icon Right Margin, Block Header Padding, and Icon Box Padding globally right from the XenForo Options page—no CSS coding required.
• Page Title Integration: The custom icons don't just stay on the forum directory. They appear seamlessly next to the main headers (h1) when you are viewing inside a category or forum module.
