Icons

Each object in Symcon can have an icon. In addition, icons can be present within Variable presentations or inherited through linked structures (see Links).
Icons are prioritized in the following order:

  1. the icon assigned to the link object (when linking)
  2. the icon assigned to the (linked) object
  3. depending on the object type:
    • For automations: the icon caret-right
    • For media: the icon image
    • For variables: Icon based on the presentation

Icons that are set based on the variable presentation are automatically updated when the variable value changes.
If an inherited icon is to be explicitly removed, the special icon Transparent can be selected.

Icon Overview

The more than 3000 classic icons from Font Awesome can be used in the tile visualization: Usable icons. These icons are displayed in the Light style. In addition, all Brand icons can be used. Finally, there are a number of icons that have been specially created for use in Symcon:

The Legacy icons can be used in the WebFront.

The icon Transparent

The Transparent icon is a special case. If this icon is selected, another icon that is lower in the hierarchy (see above) can be overwritten so that no icon is displayed. This can be used as a style element, e.g. to not display an icon for linked object categories, even though the category had an icon assigned.
