Change default icon of controls in lvlibs

Status: Declined

Moved to CAR database: CAR 511304

Whenever I create a new vi as part of an lvlib the default icon gets erased making space to immediately enter descriptive words on the icon.

 

When I create a control as part of an lvlib it replaces the default icon by another default icon. This means when I want to customise the icon I have to first overwrite the default icon before I can write something on the icon.

 

So what I would like to have is something like this:

 

Left side is non-lvlib, right side is part of a lvlib (first row is the behaviour of VIs outside and as part of lvlibs, the second row is the behaviour of controls and the third row is how I would like the behaviour of controls to be):

This lvlib default icon is tempting people to the dark side of style by not encouraging them enough to customise their icons.

 

In the name of style, please make LabVIEW create lvlib control icons the same way as it creates lvlib vi icons.

 

May the style be with you.
