Creating an Icon for a Style

[LilleG]

I can create a new style by using Add Style From Selection.  And I can Rename the style.  But how do I create an icon for it?

Hi LilleG,

There's no way to change the default shape used to display Styles.

That's not what I mean.  When I created the user style, it had no icon at all.  Just a blank gray rectangle that appears when you hover over it then click on when you want to apply it.

Bump!  I don't want to change the default shape; the styles I created have no icon at all.  I can use the styles; I can rename them, or delete them but there is no icon above the name.  If I click above the name, I get a gray rectangle and the style activates. What am I doing wrong?  I used the "Add Style from Selection" command.

Hi LilleG,

I misunderstood your question. Sorry.

The cog icon used to display styles in the styles panel should display automatically. The only thing i can suggest is to reset the app and check if they display properly.

To do it, press and hold ⌃(ctrl) while launching the app, then select Clear from the dialog that will appear.

Thanks for the suggestion.  It didn't work though.  Prolly just another goofy 10.8.5 response.  I also tried creating a new one.  Same thing.  No icon at all but it works perfectly so I don't really need icons.
