Process Director comes with many standard icons you can use to customize the icons displayed for buttons, Content List objects, Timeline Activity results, etc. In addition, you can create your own custom icons, as desired, to further customize the product's interface. Custom icons must meet the following criteria to display properly in Process Director:
- The icon file must be a GIF image, and be sized precisely at 16x16 pixels. Alpha transparency for these GIF images is supported.
- The icon file names must use sequential numbers. So if you have created three custom icons, the file names must be "1.gif", "2.gif", and "3.gif". If the icons aren't sequentially numbered, any missing numbers will display as broken images in the Process Director Interface. This means that if you delete a custom icon, all of the icon file names must be renumbered if the numbering sequence is broken by the deletion.
- The icon files must be uploaded into the
\%Installation Directory%\custom\iconsfolder of your Process Director installation (e.g.,C:\Program Files\BP Logix\Process Director\website\custom\icons). Only custom icon files should be placed in this directory.
Once the criteria above have been met, and the GIF images have been loaded into the custom images folder, you must go to the Properties page of the Installation Settings section, and set the Number of Custom Icons setting to equal the number of icons you have created. Every time you add or delete an icon, this setting must be reset to the new number of existing icons. If you do not, then a new icon added to the system won't be displayed at all, and a deleted icon will display as a broken image.
Once you have uploaded and properly configured the custom icon settings, your custom icons will be displayed in the Icon Picker, In a Custom Icons section at the bottom of the Older Built-In Icons tab.
