Playlist Icons?

Hi, me again. I'm trying to figure how to give an icon to my playlists, but it seems there's no option to do that. Right now my playlists look like this:

I'm using the Rincewind theme. I could find a few threads on the internet where people had icons for 'collection playlists'. Are those different from regular playlists? I'm not sure how to even do those, unless it's an automation thing.
Ideally something like this would make most sense:

Or even just a button to browse for an image, either in the options to the left, or simply as an additional field in the Images panel to the right kinda like so:

An option for custom icons feels oddly missing from both the playlist and platform properties windows, since you can already edit so much within them. In any case I don't know how to use the icons I could find under
"...\LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons\Playlists\".

Edit: Or better yet! An option to inherit the icon from its parent platform, since LB keeps track of that in the Parents tab. Sorry for turning this into a suggestion post, I'm assuming what I'm asking isn't possible atm from the get-go, so I'm making suggestions. Hopefully I'm mistaken.

Thank you for your guidance. And also merry xmas :)

Edit 2:
Welp, I guess I found a solution. It's not ideal, but it does what I want. I thought about doing that, but I gave up upon seeing the folder, I thought those were hard-coded categories.
Turns out all that has to happen is for the icon name to match the playlist name. It's not ideal, certainly not intuitive, but I'm also glad this method 'just works'.

I guess this one can be considered solved.
