Hi there @arkadsgames. You can do it without the Gizmos folder. Just select the ScriptableObject script (not the ScriptableObject asset!) and select its icon in the Inspector. That will change that script's icon as well as all icons of respective ScriptableObject assets!

Additionally, you can visit this thread for more info, it has lots of gold in it: https://forum.unity.com/threads/custom-scriptableobject-icons-thumbnail.256246/

Hi, i'm working on a cards game where there are different "roles". Every scriptable object needs to have a custom image. How do i do it?

Hi there, my answer quite literally answers your question. Just click the icon in the Inspector and you will be able to set it just like that.

This works. However, existing instances of the ScriptableObject were not updated (i.e. it only applied to the ScriptableObject assets I created after changing the icon). Didn't try restarting Unity though, so that may fix that issue.
