Title: Where to find the Icons displayed by EA
Post by: Viking on January 04, 2025, 06:32:20 am

Hi, I wanted to use the same icons as used by the built-in toolboxes (e.g., BPMN). So, I extracted and converted them from the according MDGs. Surprisingly, they have grey backgrounds.

My questions are:

• Where are these icons with grey background used? Or is there are trick to show them as intended? I read in articels and in the manual the grey is the color of choice for icons.
• If there is no trick, where can I find the icons displayed in the toolboxes (with transparent or white background)?
• Some icons are missed in the MDG (e.g., Pool of BPMN). How is it possible for EA to display them?

Hi Viking,
The Gray background denotes transparency - (from the help file)  "The icon image is a 16x16 pixel bitmap file; for a transparent background use light gray - RGB(192,192,192).   The icon image is a 16x16 pixel bitmap file; for a transparent background use light gray - RGB(192,192,192)."

HTH,
