Customizing Contenta Icons

The Contenta Explorer icons are located in the Contenta/icon directory.

If your icons reside in a different directory path, you can modify the directory path designation in the Tools > Options window (see Contenta Icon Directory and File Names.

There are three types of icons which you can customize:

  • Object icons

    Object icons represent objects in Contenta Explorer.

    For example, the compounddoc.ico icon represents the Compounddoc and Compoundascii objects.

  • Indicator icons

    Indicator icons appear above object icons or in the status area to indicate a specific condition.

    For example, a thumb tack above an object in the Post List indicates that the object is locked and ready to post:

  • Workflow Icons

    Workflow icons appear when viewing or editing a workflow, and represent tasks in the workflow.

    For example the arrow icon in the workflow editor represents the start task of a project:

    Other icons, such as tool bar icons, are built into Contenta Explorer and cannot be customized.
