Hey guys. I was just wondering if it's possible to change the icon of an object-plugin depending on its function. A good example would be the connector-object which changes it's icon depending if it works as a hinge, a cardan or slider. Is this possible with python or limited to the C++ SDK? To go even a bit further: is it possible to give an icon a color overlay like the null and light-objects are now able to? Thanx Phil

Thanks Niklas for the hint. It works, although I'm not sure if it is the correct way (this is still without checking for any mode-change, only for testing if it's working) :
def Message(self, node, type, data) : if type == c4d.MSG_GETCUSTOMICON: data['bmp'] = icon1 data['filled'] = True return True
Is this the right way to do it (because it looks way more complicated in C++ ... as everything does)?
