Hey Bubblers!
I’m super excited to share a plugin I’ve been using and refining for over a year now: Dynamic Icons (Material and Lucide) ! I’ve found it incredibly useful, and now I want to give back to this awesome community by releasing it absolutely FREE for everyone.
What’s the big deal?
If you’ve ever been frustrated by the limitations of static icons, especially in Repeating Groups where you need icons to change based on the current cell’s data, this plugin is for you.
The main superpower of Dynamic Icons plugin is its ability to let you dynamically “feed” icon names right from your Bubble data – think Data Things, Option Sets, API responses, you name it. This opens up a world of possibilities for:
-
Status indicators in Repeating Groups (e.g., task_alt if complete, pending if not) -
User-specific icons in dashboards
-
Conditional iconography based on any Bubble logic
-
Creating more interactive and responsive UIs
Key Features:
-
Dual Icon Libraries: Choose between the extensive and beautiful Lucide Icons (lucide.dev) OR the widely-used Google Material Symbols (Outlined, Rounded, Sharp). -
Full Customization:-
Size, color, positioning.
-
Lucide specific: Stroke width, fill options.
-
Material Symbols specific: Icon weight, style, fill state, and the new ‘grade’ for emphasis!
-
-
Interactive: Make icons clickable to trigger workflows and add helpful tooltips. -
Blazing Fast & Lightweight: Designed for performance. -
Seamless Bubble Integration: Uses standard dynamic expressions, so it feels native. -
Battle-Tested: As I mentioned, I’ve put this through its paces on complex client projects.
Why “Pro”? (*Previously it had name “Dynamic Icons - Pro”)
Because it gives you professional-level control and dynamic capabilities that go beyond basic icon elements.

I genuinely believe this can save you a ton of time and unlock new design possibilities in your Bubble projects. It’s completely free, no strings attached.
Give it a try, and please let me know your feedback, any issues you encounter, or features you’d love to see!
Happy Bubbling!
