3.10 Custom Icon Recommendations
When creating custom icons, the following recommendations should be followed for optimal appearance:
• 32 bit PNG File – Works best for the color tinting used in alarm reporting. Refer to Table 3.4.
• 256 x 256 pixels, square – Image files larger than the recommended size require more memory and may
degrade system operation.
•Gray scale – Light colored, gray scale images work best, since colored images interfere with the color tinting
used in alarm reporting. Refer to Table 3.5.
