Storing custom icons

I use a few custom icons for folders and connections, and while its easy and convenient to store them in a folder with my rtsz file, is there a way of embedding them into. Royal TSX with the system icons?

Hi Russel,


Royal TSX's icon library is located inside the application bundle (/Applications/Royal TSX.app/Contents/Resources/IconLibrary).

Currently we ship a single style of icons called "Flat". The next major release (V4) will include icons from VMware Clarity as a new style.

If you want to add your own style of icons to Royal TSX's icon gallery you can just create a new folder under IconLibrary and put your icons there. They must be .png files to be detected by Royal TSX. Also, to have proper Retina support, make sure the regular (non-Retina) icons are 16x16 pixels while the @2x versions are 32x32 pixels.

Also note that since the whole application bundle gets overridden during updates, you will have to restore your custom icon folder after every update. A restart of Royal TSX is also required for the app to detect the icons.

And of course, if you use Royal TSX in a team or by yourself on multiple machines, you will have to sync those changes across those machines.


Hope that helps!
