Allow for dashboard cards to have an icon added.

Use case

The dashboard purpose is to allow users the opportunity to customize this view to include only the information most relevant to them.
Adding visual cues as to the content of the widgets/cards makes it even better (and prettier).

I have several widget with mixed content. How will the header icon be defined? By selector?
Unicode is not enough?

P.S. Text shadow or more contrast text colors for some header colors will be much more appreciated imho:

Hi @stavr666,
My plan was to define icon names from Material Design Icons.

Something like that:

<h6 class="card-header text-center">
        {% if widget.icon_name %}<i class="mdi mdi-{{ widget.icon_name }}"></i>{% endif %}
        <span class="ms-1">{{ widget.title }}</span>
</h6>

Nothing would prevent you from using your method as well.

#12128 is probably blocking this
