This size allows for sharp rendering of icons on high-pixel-density screens such as Apple’s Retina displays. The border thickness for the standard icon template is 6px. The PNG image format is recommended. Color Use the recommended color palette to maximize interface consistency. Each icon should use a single, solid color (no transparency) on a white background. When using icon color to indicate business meaning (e.g. red = problem) make sure to provide the same information in event text for the benefit of color-blind and non-sighted users. Never use different colored icons for the same event for decorative purposes. Feedback Was this page helpful? SHARE FEEDBACK Loading...
