really impressed by how suggestions become reality. one icon i found missing: lightstrips. i went with the Hue Go icon since the strips produce a similar, if elongated effect. But perhaps an icon that’s a line with dots on it, and a glow extending from it?

Thanks for the feedback, I’ve added your request to the list!
Is there a way to have “No Icon”? I’m trying to use a 1X high Virtual Switch and any icon is superimposed on the title text. Would be happy with just the text in this case.

We’ve included a blank icon in the latest beta. It’s at the end of the ‘Interface’ section or you can search for “blank”.
Edit:
We’ve included an LED Strip icon in the beta as well.

Josh - Thanks! (I tried to come up with another word to express my gratitude, but I drew a blank.)

When using the blank icon, Display Color as Icon Background works nicely; a colored circle.
Choosing Icon Glow does not effect the tile at all. A tile background-colored circle with the color glow would be nice. Or - if not too difficult to do - eliminate the Icon Glow choice when the blank icon is chosen. Or - leave it as-is!
I have a request for a new lighting icon: “vanity lighting”, such as above a bathroom mirror. Obviously there are many different styles but some sort of generic version would be nice to have in Sharptools.

Awesome been waiting for the LED Strip. How about a fountain? Right now I use the sprinkler icon!

Thanks for the feedback! This is somewhat of an exceptional case in that the “Blank” icon is literally an empty icon. The glowing effect is applied to the icon, so if there is no content within the icon then there won’t be any glowing.
I’m hesitant to add extra logic just for this one icon, so I think the recommended approach would be to use an actual icon if the glowing effect is desired.
The following icons will be included in the next beta release:

Any ability to add say a generic gaming icon (e.g., a controller) and a Nintendo brand icon?
There’s a generic game controller available which can be found by searching for “controller” or “game”
We’ve noted the request for a Nintendo icon.

Any ideas for a Vacation Mode icon? Maybe a beach chair with a palm tree? Otherwise I would just use text (“Vacation”), but I dont have text as a hero attribute option for a Mode tile.
I’ll get a few vacation related icons added in a future release (plane, tropical island, umbrella on a beach):
In the meantime, perhaps one of the map / globe icons would work?
Or perhaps the icon that shows up when you search for ‘present’:
I would really love to have a simple block letter icon for each letter of the alphabet. The primary use would be to identify tiles more easily. I have a difficult time seeing the name of the tile until my nose is almost in contact with the dashboard. The block letter icons would serve as a shortcut to the tile.
Many of the icons are easily recognizable, however if you have a row of tiles with the same icon you must revert to reading the title.

There has been past discussion about a capability to upload icons. Is this still being considered?
Just itching for a way to tinker with customizing icons…
Yes. It hasn’t quite made the short list yet, but it’s on the list nonetheless!
Edit: Also note that there are some tricks you can do with Media Tiles and the special Hyperlink Syntax depending on your goal. This wouldn’t give you state driven visuals, but you could use a static icon as your media and then use the special $.runRule("RULEID") syntax to run a rule of your choice:
Similarly, the hyperlink syntax could be used with the new Variable Tiles which also support the hyperlink syntax if you wanted to just show a phrase, letters, or a number. (In which case the content of the tile could be dynamic if you desired, though it would be textual rather than an image)

Thanks, Josh! I’ve just started to play with using media tiles/hyperlnk for this. It’s over my head now, but will keep plugging away.
