Hi,

This question is specifically about menu icons in web client and it was raised by a customer who is upgrading from FSM 5.7 to 6.10.

As you may have noticed, default menu icons for screen functions in web client are different from smart client.

web client
smart client

Is there a way to make them the same as smart client?

When rolling out web client, the customer wants to retain the same look and feel they are familiar with for years.

Thanks! - Nuwan

Hi @nkanlk,

 

In the FSM smart client these icons are loading from the “Image Library”. But for the webclient these are loading from the Web Client server dynamically. If you extract the FSM.WebClient.zip from the FSM setup and navigate to “\FSM.WebClient\wwwroot\images\icons” location, you can see all these SVG images that are using for web client.

Example for in the following image you can see “addressbook.svg”.

 

if you open this file, you can see the webclient logo for “Contacts”.

 

So if you want to change these webclient logos, I believe you need to create a new svg file with the same name and replace the file.

Hope this includes all the information you need.

 

Kind Regards,

Isuranga.

@Isuranga Ediriweera ​ thanks for your response!

The solution you suggested is feasible if the svg files are not replaced when applying updates and it will be cumbersome to follow as an additional activity at each installation.

I wanted to check if we could have any configuration options to overcome this dissimilarity and it seems we don’t have any.

Hi @nkanlk your welcome!

Yes, It seems like the only way that we can do this by replacing the SVG files so we have to change these for every update as there is no configurations that we can use to control this.
