Changing document type icon
The default icon is created with the new document type. Should you want to replace this icon with your own, go to <your web project folder>\App_Themes\Default\Images\ CMSDesk\Icons\ and find the file named <namespace>_<your new document type>.gif (in our example, this is going to be CustomProduct_television.gif). All you have to do is replace this file with the image file of your new icon. Please note that the new file has to be named the same as the one being replaced. |
