A highly elegant customization tool for Obsidian. It lets you declutter and beautify your Obsidian Settings sidebar by custom-naming tabs, swapping Lucide icons, and hiding unused setting panels with a sleek dashboard.
- Custom-rename any tab in your Obsidian Settings sidebar (including Obsidian's native Core Settings, Core Plugins, and Community Plugins) to suit your personal workspace terminology.
- Swap out default setting icons with any icon from Obsidian's native library of over 1,000 Lucide icons.
- Built-in fuzzy-search modal (
IconPickerModal) makes searching and previewing icons incredibly easy.
- Hide unused or rarely configured plugin setting tabs to keep your settings workspace completely clean.
- Fail-safe Lock Protection: Includes a safety mechanism that prevents you from hiding the Renamer plugin itself, ensuring you are never locked out of your settings.
- Features a beautiful, responsive grid-layout setting tab that groups options into Options (Core Settings), Core Plugins, and Third-Party Plugins.
- Includes a live debounced search bar to filter settings quickly by ID, custom name, or original name.
- Click the jump icon next to any item to navigate straight to that plugin's setup panel.
- Uses a smart
MutationObserverand live-patching to safely hook into the settings view without altering any files on disk. - Automatically restores all native setting names and icons to their absolute defaults the moment the plugin is turned off or unloaded.
All your custom configurations are saved inside a lightweight config file (data.json) in your plugin folder:
names: Map of plugin IDs to custom names.icons: Map of plugin IDs to custom Lucide icon keys.hidden: Map of plugin IDs to hidden booleans.
