icons images and solutions

Classic Servoy

I am wondering if I include an icon/picture library in a solution, if those graphics become available when I use that soluution as a module? Since Servoy has almost no built in icons, it seems like the best way to deal with certain parts of building a consistent GUI for the user. I understand that I could just import tyhe graphics into each solution, but that seems like a lot of work to do. Or rather a workaround.

So I guess the question is. Is it possible to get graphics from a modul? If not, what is the best solution?

Hi, any graphic you import into a module will be available to any module or solution using your module.

One common way to deal with this is to have a ‘core’ module with common functions, icons and other stuff.

Thanks. Guess I have a little more reading to do.
