Captain Ginns Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 In 3.x images were mainly kept in the Style_images/master folder. where are they now? Thanks.

Captain Ginns Posted January 2, 2017 Author Posted January 2, 2017 Jim, I went there and saw all the images that have ever been posted. What I'm looking for is the folder where the Message board gets it's basic graphics from to use. Example: the paperclip. In 3.4 I could go to the style-images/master folder and change the paperclip graphic. Or other graphics that are used by the message board around the basic template. I hope I am articulating my question correctly. Thanks.

Captain Ginns Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 opentype, That was very helpful indeed: however, where is the paperclip graphic kept?
opentype Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 That isn’t an image. It’s an icon from the FontAwesome font and its called through CSS/HTML.
Captain Ginns Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 Interesting. So that means that IPS now gets many fonts from a third party web site? Like the Green Pin" symbol: does that also come from a third party?
opentype Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 4 minutes ago, Captain Ginns said: Interesting. So that means that IPS now gets many fonts from a third party web site? No, its just one font, which is delivered with IPS 4 and used for graphics throughout the suite.
Captain Ginns Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 So I downloaded my entire site to my "C" drive. Where is the paperclip and green "Pin" graphic kept. I want to replace both of them with another graphic. Is there a folder I can open and see it?
opentype Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 No. Once more: its a font with vector graphics as characters of the font, called and styled through HTML/CSS. If you want to change a graphic, you can change the HTML in the template to call a different character in that font or you need to replace the whole part which even calls the font and call a bitmap image instead. But there is no such image yet, which you can just replace. There is also no green pin. That color is just CSS styling.
Captain Ginns Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 Yikes...that is very interesting and new to me. I think it's time to "Learn new things." Thanks.
Captain Ginns Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 Well, I tried, but two months I still don't get it. I want to replace the "Default Tag"...picture below, with a different "Tag" graphic shown below also...the little orange airplane button. . How do I do that? Thanks in advance for the help. This is the left pointing arrow set as default. The red arrows point to it. I'm OK with the words on the arrow, but I want to change the black arrow graphic. Orange Airplane below.
opentype Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 That’s not a picture nor a font glyph, but a text styled via CSS.
Captain Ginns Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 I really appreciate that answer...but I don't understand it. So how do I change from one to the other. Step-by-step would be good if you don't mind.
