Perspective Custom Icons

Ignition
1

I'm on a dockerized Ignition 8.3.6. I'm trying to add a custom icons library following help and forum topics, but nothing works: ignition and material are the only libraries that show up.

If I execute a bash in the docker Ignition container I cannot find the folder

/usr/local/bin/ignition/data/modules/com.inductiveautomation.perspective/icons/

as suggested by the help, I find instead

/usr/local/bin/ignition/data/modules/com.inductiveautomation.perspective/.migrated-icons-20260607-214/icons

where material.svg and ignition.svg are stored - note that I restored a 8.1 gateway exactly on 2026-06-07, hence maybe the folder name.

I tried to add a myicons.svg file, where I pasted the Custom Icon Repository Example from the help, but myicons does not show up for a button icon (designer restarted, gateway restarted, no matter)

I tried to mkdir the icons folder in the /usr/local/bin/ignition/data/modules/com.inductiveautomation.perspective folder and copied there my file, no success.

I double checked user/group/other permissions of the library files: all are set to ignition

Any help?

Thanks in advance, regards

The location and structure of Perspective asset files changed a bit in the overhaul of the configuration management system we did in 8.3 (so that everything shares the same patterns and can be managed the same way).

The new path is described here - make sure if you're referencing the documentation you're using the correct version of the docs:
