Hi all,

Hoping someone can provide some assistance or even just tell me if this is possible.

I am developing a Vision Module that provides some new components and I am wondering how I can go about adding icons in the Component Palette, like seen here in the magenta box:

I was also wondering whether it is possible to change the module icon (light blue box) to something else. I assume the the icons in the magenta box would be added using `ComponentBeanInfo.java`  
and the icon in the light blue box would be altered somewhere in `DesignerHook.java`, I just couldn't see any documentation about it (or I missed it, if so sorry!).

I look forward to your replies and thanks in advanced.

Yes, thought it requires a technically "unsafe" cast to an internal implementation class. Vanishingly unlikely to change.

See this thread for more info:
