Custom social card icon?

[A-Baji]

I know the docs state that only icons included by the theme are usable for social cards, but is there any workaround if I wanted to use a custom icon?

Thanks for asking! Social cards are integrated with Material for MkDocs icon system, which means that custom icons are supported through additional icons. If you can use your custom icons inside your documentation, they should also work for social cards. If for some reason that doesn't work, please open an issue with a minimal reproducible example.

Thanks, I somehow missed this. Is there a specific format the icons need to be in order for them to have the correct coloring when hovered?

Only SVG is supported, as mentioned in the documentation.

Okay, so a huge misunderstanding: you wrote social cards, but you mean social links, right? You should make sure that the SVG source does not contain any fill colors, or Material for MkDocs can't set the right color for the icon. As an example, see the source of this icon.

Oh, my bad 😅 . Thanks for the answer though. I got it working.
