ClassIcon2 is now deprecated
In a recent update to modernize the Explorer in Luau, Roblox has now fixed StudioService:GetClassIcon. It now properly returns new icons as well as adjust for dark/light mode.
Introduction
Roblox has a method for getting explorer class icons. Ironically, this method is a bit outdated. I created ClassIcon2 to solve this!
ClassIcon2
ClassIcon2 is a modern approach to getting the icons for classes in Roblox! Small, fast, dev-friendly, and it’s much better than Roblox’s available methods.
Roblox’s method (StudioService:GetClassIcon):
- Still relies on the old ClassIcons.png spritesheet if it needs to fallback to an icon that doesn’t exist in the icon folder.
- Can’t get a themed (Dark or Light) icon
- Can’t get the 2x and 3x sized variants of icons
My method:
- Does what Roblox’s doesn’t
So why not try it? You can get it here for free:

(NOTE: Not all icons may work. Also, there’s like 250 entries here so don’t unfold the dropdown unless you want to see it all.)

Still not convinced to use this?
Well, do what you want. If you aren’t a fan of this, you might want to check out my other release that would likely benefit your development. Enjoy!
