|
|
| icons_extension | `.svg` | File extension of icons in the pack |
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Icons:
|
|
|
|
Widget comes with two predefined icon packs:
|
|
|
|
- weather-underground-icons taken from [here](https://github.com/manifestinteractive/weather-underground-icons)
|
|
- VitalyGorbachev taken from [here](https://www.flaticon.com/authors/vitaly-gorbachev)
|
|
|
|
To add your custom icons, create a folder with the pack name under `/icons` and use the folder name in widget's config. There should be 18 icons, preferably 128x128 minimum. Icons should also respect the naming convention, please check widget's source.
|
|
