Hello from Switzerland. Yes, it would be great if it's possible to change the colour of the icons with the Add Iconfinder. This would make the design of the icons consistent on the board.
Throwing my weight behind this idea. I work for a large organisation and it would be good to add icons to my workshop and colour them so participants receive a consistent brand experience.
When adding an icon using IconFinder I should be able to change the icon colour to match the rest of the experience I am creating. I understand these may just be pngâs but being able to colour them would be a great simple addition.
Thank you for the feedback. youâre right - it does seem like a simple ânoâ would work here.
Brevity IS a virtue. And, yet, so is clarity and inclusivity. I do often struggle with this balance here in the forum.
âŚ
For less brevity and more clarity⌠;)
I often try to error on the side of âtoo specificâ so I donât make false assumptions about the meaning of whatâs being asked and give the wrong impression of what is and isnât possible in the app or with the API/SDK. Especially given that this forum strives to be a place that serves a community of people with many different first languages and who have varying backgrounds and vocabularies for things-- I feel itâs important to not make assumptions about ambiguous question meanings and give clear and unambiguous answers in order to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible. To that end, I try also to embed clarifying questions and their answers in one turn - as opposed to just return questions - which runs the risk of no answers ever arriving and a dead thread.
Also, youâll often see, like above, that the original question asker is really appreciative of âthoughtful answersâ.
yet - to your point - the best answer might just sometimes be: ânope, not possible yetâ Cheers :)
indeed itâs very technically possible. And would be relatively âeasyâ for Miro to add it. But itâs still not âpossible to accomplish as a current user yet.
I wonder if MURAL has a contract w/ the Noun Project, since editing colors is a premium feature on NPâs website. Or maybe just an SLA.
The native Miro icon picker pales in comparison. Inserting bitmaps feels very dated compared to the rest of Miroâs design capabilities.
Iâd argue this is a core feature, because these products are all about visual thinking, which includes using symbols beyond the normal alphanumeric ones.
Emoji are helpful, and at least theyâre vectors (or very high resolution raster, I donât actually know), but you canât edit their color.
The wireframe tool has a small set of icons whose color can be edited with the color palette, but itâs like 20 icons, so impractical.
I agree that the ability to color an icon is a basic feature in Mural and even Microsoft Powerpoint or Word; it is unfortunate that this is not a âbasicâ feature within Miro. I highly recommend Miro reconsider itâs icon library and its features.
