[Solved]Can I chance the font of the emoji icons in the sidebar?

Hi! So I really really like Opera GX, but there's one thing that kind of bothers me. See, when you create a workspace with an emoji icon, in the Sidebar Setup menu each emoji looks similar to the normal icons, being monochromatic and simple. However, on the actual sidebar itself, they're the emoji font of the system your on, for me it's Windows. I'll include a screenshot showing what I mean, but my question is this: Is there a way I can make the actual sidebar use the emoji font that is used in the sidebar setup menu, possibly with an extension or something similar? I prefer the font used in the sidebar setup menu much much more, as it fits much better with the aesthetic of the browser.

(On the right is the sidebar setup versions of the icons, and the left is the actual sidebar.)

@cyndi4u Extensions can't modify the parts of the browser, no.

I found this and this posting here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/42958/how-to-change-a-sidebar-icon
All saying it's not possible. But that's wrong.

Navigate to:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\Extensions

Every folder here is an extension. Most folders have an img or icon folder.
Search the right folder for your extension.

Change the icons and restart Opera.

It's not update safe, but it's possible.
