The Icons we use are arbitrary in nature and are collected from various sources. They can be seen in the image attached at the beginning of this thread. In actuality, the sources are irrelevant; they are simply icons, a file, with a jpeg file type.

The file type creates the question about why they are not part of the names in the configuration file seen here: https://docs.profoundlogic.com/display/ ... +Icon+List. Why is that? Does this mean that a specific type, say ,png or .tiff is expected and the type is appended to the file name? The other question this creates is about the location of those files i.e icons. Where are they located? How does the process using the config file locate them? This is indicating that location is not arbitrary, that they need to be in a specific directory.

There are lots of different things that people call "icons". Very popular today are font files that contain scalable icons, that is what the "icon" widget is for, and various similar things that we refer to as "icons".

Its also possible to make icons in other ways such as the actual icon file type, or the scalable vector graphics (svg) type images.

In your case where you have a JPEG file (also GIF, PNG, etc) what you want to use is the image widget. HTML/Web pages display these as images via the <img> html tag, so we named our widget to match that, the "image" widget. Simply use an image widget and point the "image source" property at your .jpg.

Yes! That's it. Thanks, Scott.
