For the life of me I can’t figure this out. Any idea why the icon is not appearing?

Are there any relevant entries in the Designer console or in your Gateway logs?  
Did you move/modify the provided default material.svg file in the file system?  
Is this a new installation of 8.0.X, or was it an upgrade of a 7.9.X installation?

There are several reasons you might not be able to see the icon, but without some more information we won’t be able to help you diagnose the issue.

Some details:

Ignition Version: 8.0.3  
Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04  
material.svg path: /var/lib/ignition/data/modules/com.inductiveautomation.perspective/icons/material.svg  
Designer Console Messages: None  
Gateway Logs: None

I’m not even sure how to debug this. I may just drag the icons needed directly into the designer.

Try cleaning the cache and reopen the designer.

Thanks, I tried clearing the cache (deleting the .ignition folder) but it’s still appears empty.

What happens if you visit the View which contains the icon in a Perspective Session? If the icon is not visible in the true Session, then the Browser console should provide you some useful information.

I checked it out, I don’t see any console messages. But maybe this helps? Looking at the html and inspecting the icon:

I've been trying to figure this one out too. It seems to only be a problem on some browsers. I have this problem on one station but it works in edge. See this thread.

> Viewing a Perspective project in Chrome, without SSL (port 8088), Material Icons (at least) do not render (are invisible) unless you use ‘localhost’ as the address. If you enter the real IP address, even FROM the server machine, you will not get the material icons. You can get them to work with non-localhost URL only if you use SSL URL. Does not seem to be an issue using Edge browser.

Thank you! It does work for me in Edge, I can see the icons. Glad it’s just not me for now.

One of our developers has apparently already begun to investigate the issue as part of a different forum post which is displaying the same issue in a different area.
