Toolbar Action Icons

There are ten action toolbar items named Action 1 through Action 10. These toolbar icons can be associated with specific actions in the Action Manager. Using this panel, you can assign custom icons to be used. In the Action Manager you can also edit the attributes associated with an action icon. You can view that topic here.

This panel can be used to configure all ten possible icons. When action/toolbar associations are made in the Action Manager, you can configure the single appropriate icon as well as the toolbar text and tooltip.

You can supply different renditions for light and dark mode if you wish.

The panel displays six columns:

selected

When you click on a row in the table to select it, this column will display a green arrow. This selection method is used as a standard highlight selection method interfers with the display of the icons. The selected row is the row which will be modified.

#

The Action icon number.

○

This is the only editable column. When not enabled and there is no dark mode icon, the light icon, if any, will be used in dark mode. When enabled and there is no dark mode icon, the default icon will be used in dark mode. Changing the value may cause the Apply image to change when the panel is displayed in dark mode.

Default

The built in icon. This is what gets displayed if never changed.

Current

This is the icon that will currently be displayed. ie. Before any changes are made.

Apply

This is the icon that will be displayed if changes are applied.

When the panel is first displayed, it will have the same appearance as the system. ie. it will be dark if in dark mode or light if not. You are configuring the icons for the displayed appearance. Clicking on the light bulb icon will toggle the panel between light and dark modes.

To change an icon, drag an image or image file to the target. The image displayed in the Apply column will be updated for the selected item.

The functions button displays a menu with options to perform various types of resets and enables the bulk enabling/disabling of all rows in the ○ column.

Note that the icons are not saved in the application settings. They are saved in a folder named:

~/Application Support/Yate/Icons

The files are named Action n.png and DarkAction n.png. n is in the range of 1 to 10.

If you want to have the same icons on more than one Mac, you can always simply copy the folder which might be less work that changing the icons in more than one place.

When an image or image file is dragged to the target, the following occurs:

• It is resized down such that the largest of its width and height is 64 pixels. This is twice the size of a regular size icon on a toolbar. The doubling is to account for Retina displays.
• If not square, the image is squared and filled with a transparent background.
• The images are saved as PNG files named Action #.png
