Since Tiki 2.0 different icon sets are used:
*small: 16x16 from the Famfamfam Silk set http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk
+[http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/previews/index_abc.png|overview of all the icons available]
*large: 48 x 48 from the Jini icon set - see [https://dev.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=1&page=Icons&download=y|attached file]
The icons are indexed png8.
You need to transform the Famfamfam icons to png8. For this, for instance use the Gimp and
*change image > mode > indexed, with floyd dithering but not on transparency, best palette
*save png8
Some pictures from the admin section have been taken from Wikipedia Commons - trunk/pics/large/profiles.png, trunk/pics/large/semantic.png, trunk/pics/large/webservices.png
Icons can be overriden per theme if you place same file name in the styles/ThemeName/img/icons/

{REMARKSBOX(type="tip" title="Tiki14 info" close="n")}
Icon management is currently being reworked for Tiki14. This page is continously updated until development design is finalized.
{REMARKSBOX}
!!Basics
- Tiki uses icon sets
- The Look&Feel administration page provides UI to make icon settings with the below options:
-- general icon set for all themes: default font-awesome, glyphicons and legacy famfamfam icons
-- theme specific icon set: it is possible to define an icon set for each theme or option
- Icon sets can be customized following the logics of CSS and template customization, so it is possible to have an icon set for a theme and/or option by placing a custom.php file in the theme or theme option's "icons/" folder. In case an icon set is meant to be available for all themes, place a new icon set definition file in the "themes/base_files/iconsets/" folder. This new icon set will be available from the Look&Feel control panel ("theme_iconset" preference)
- currently there are two kind of icons that can be used: icon-fonts and image files (png)
- for image files the preTiki14 way of icon customization still works, so for example if you don't like the image used for editing (img/icons/page_edit.png) you can place another png file with the same name (page_edit.png) into your theme's "icons/" folder, and then that new icon will be displayed for that theme.
