Summary
Hi :-),
I think it would be nice to have the possibility to attach an icon to a st.dialog in the front of the dialog title ... just an idea, nothing urgent.
Best Regards

@alex-bork Thanks for the suggestion :) I agree that this seems like a good idea. In the meantime, as a workaround you can use markdown as part of the title, which allows you to use material icons within the title:
@st.dialog(":material/chart_data: Chart Explorer")
Hi! @lukasmasuch I’d love to contribute to this feature. I was thinking to implement dialog icon support using a simple string + image approach (emoji, URL, or local image path). That’s the model I have in mind, but please let me know if you'd prefer a different direction.
@KaranPradhan266 I think we only want to keep this consistent with other icon parameters, which only support material icons and emojis:
This is using the shared DynamicIcon.tsx component.
@lukasmasuch @alex-bork Let me know if this looks good to you?
