Icon editor

Icon: icon defined for the selected object;
Color: it show you the color set for the selected icon.
Color picker
Enabling icon’s color you are allowed to customize the color of the icon. You can choose from the color picker the color that best suits you and it is also possible to save your preferences on right.
Note. When considering Map interface creation, if “Circle icon” is enable, the icon’s color refer to the circle. If “circle icon” is disabled, the icon’s color refer to the icon.
Icon picker
This is the place where you can edit your objects icons. Just click on the icon of the selcted object and then EVE icons list will appear in front of you. Choose the one that best suits you.
Note. There are icons specifically thought to be chosen for the menu of the interface (both Classic then Map). The particular characteristic is a light shadow which looks perfect for menu icons but can look strange for components icon.
Once done, you just need to confirm by clicking OK and the object will change.
Note. When considering a component, both name and icon are the one defined on the Component’s tab. If you will edit component’s name and/or icon from the Interface tab this one will not be changed on the Component’s parameters on Component’s tab. Vice versa, if you edit component’s name and/or icon from the Component’s parameters area of the Component’s tab, this will automatically change also on your user interface. Please refer to “Component’s parameters” guide.
