GUI Icons

Rellwood · 07-05-2017, 04:42 PM

Where might I find the file that has the code which indicates which icon is used for the Yes/no custom columns? Or is it something that requires more than one file to coordinate? I am looking to change the choices in icons for yes/no so that I can cut down on icon rules.

I know its a lot of work thats pobably above my head, but I located the "ok" png file and just want to see where the code that controls it is located and try to make sense of it.

You can use the search tool on github to find what you are looking for:
https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...utf8=%E2%9C%93

From what I've seen, the concerned files seem to be :

src\calibre\gui2\library\models.py for the icon displayed in the main calibre view
src\calibre\gui2\library\delegates.py for the icon displayed when you set the value for the column from the main view
src\calibre\gui2\custom_column_widgets for the icon displayed when you set the value for the column from the edit metadata view

It's easy enough to change which icon is used, but if you want to add more choices there is probably more work involved.
