Hi,

Can I replace the icon of record function to text ?
Example: appear "new employee" instead of icon

Hi fararjeh,

This is currently not possible through configuration, as if no icon is configured a default icon would be used. But this goal can be achieved by customizing CSS definitions.

Under webapps/workdesk/designs/default41/css you can find the file ow_customizing.css including following entry:

/* hide elements */
#OwStandardDialog #OwSubLayout_menu,
.OwStandardDialog_MENU td span.OwMainMenuItem,
#OwSubLayout_menu ul span  
{
    display: none;
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If you´d delete span.OwMainMenuItem from that definition you would see already the text defined in your plugin description node in addition to the plugin icon.

To remove the icon itself you have to customize CSS once more to override the background-image used per plugin. Just add following defintion at the end of your ow_customizing.css file:

span.OwFunctionBigIcon{
    background-image: none !important;
}
‍‍‍‍‍

Now you should just see the description text per record plugin.

Best regards,
deko

PS: I can recommend using Firefox and Firebug for such things, as you can see from where CSS styles are taken and which CSS classes in which files you would have to overwrite.
