Icon Manager

Access the Icon Manager from the main application window via the View menu. sdrtrunk provides a set of standard icons that can be used with Aliases (see Playlist Editor) to display an icon next to talkgroups, individual radios and other identifiers. You can also add your own custom icons.

These icons are used in the Now Playing window in the columns where talkgroups and radio identifiers are listed.

Type

The type column indicates the type of icon.

  • Standard - a standard icon that is part of the sdrtrunk application bundle.
  • Custom - an icon added by the user.
  • Default - the default icon to use for all identifiers that do not have an icon specified.
