Hi everyone,

In full Ignition, it's possible to add icons directly to the application's source folder for global use.

Can this be done in **Ignition Edge** on **Windows**? Are there any restrictions or best practices compared to the full version?

Thanks!

There are no restrictions for custom icons libraries on Edge. Exactly the same process as standard Ignition (though that procedure is different in 8.1 vs 8.3).

Thanks for the info!

I’m using Ignition Edge 8.3.1 on Windows, and I’d like to know how exactly to add custom icons to the project’s source folder in this version. Could you provide a step-by-step or point me to the documentation?
