Create a Custom Icon

You can create custom icons in any automation library folder. Each icon pairs your choice of base image with a modifier image overlaid in the lower-right corner of the base. The base and modifier provide a consistent structure for all icons.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab.

   A hierarchical list of folders appears in the left pane and all your automation objects appear in the main window.

2. (Optional) If the new custom icon you want to create is similar to an existing custom icon object, select it, click Copy, and then Paste.

   You can now edit the copy to complete your custom icon. Skip the next step.

3. Right-click any folder in the Library Browser pane and click New Object, Custom Icon.

   The new icon appears in the browser with a default name.

4. Double-click the icon.

   The Custom Icon Editor opens

5. Select one base and one modifier image. You can browse the icons one by one, filter by the category drop-down menu, or enter a keyword search.
6. Click the Object Properties tab, enter or edit the icon name, and then click Save & Close.

   Your new custom icon is available in the library.

For example, if you want to represent an operator named Upload Report, you would:

• Select a base image that represents a report.
• Select a modifier image that represents the upload action.
