Can I add custom icons to my track groups?

Yes, you can add custom icons to your track groups in PlayIt Live for enhanced visual identification on your playout log. PlayIt Live includes built-in icons, but you can also add your own custom icons.

Adding custom icons:

Navigate to the C:\ProgramData\PlayIt Live\icons\ folder on your computer. Note that C:\ProgramData\ is a hidden folder, so you'll need to type the full path into Windows Explorer or the Run window to access it.

Add your custom icon files to this folder. Your icons should be 256x256 pixel PNG files with transparency for best results, matching the format of PlayIt Live's built-in icons.

Important naming guidelines:

  • Use unique filenames without extensions for different icons
  • Avoid using the same filename with different extensions
  • Don't prefix your icons with "playit-" as this is reserved for built-in icons and could be overwritten during updates

Using custom icons:

Once you've added your custom icons to the folder, restart PlayIt Live to make them available. Then go to Manage > Track Groups, select your track group, tick the Icon checkbox, and click in the icon box to open the Select Icon window where your custom icons will appear alongside the built-in options.
