I am looking to see if there are any SDRTrunk custom icons that others have shared. Specifically looking for ones representative of helicopters, lifeguards, hospital, and emergency management agency. Thanks.

If nobody responds, it seems pretty straight forward to add custom icons.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Kind of thought I might be able to just use generic icons off the internet but wanted to see if anyone already had some that they might have uploaded somewhere.
To add to the whole custom icons, I have found, mainly of FB, the insignia of a fire department, car of police agencies, badges etc. Run them through a free online background remover and set background as transparent. Saved them all to a particular folder then went in the icon manager, set them all up. Went back into alias list and put corresponding icon with talkgroups/alias. Once you get the hang of it, it works quite well.

You mean like the pics I used in TrunkPCR, where SDRTrunk got the idea from in the first place and never mentioned it?

I never realized that you could add custom icons. Made my day. Thanks!
Thanks everyone. Knew how to add a custom icon, just wasn't sure if there were any out there that others found useful. I ended up finding a number of image files that just needed to be converted/saved in a .png file format to be able to be imported to SDRTrunk as custom icons. Ended up with about 3 different helicopter icons, a hospital icon, an emergency management agency icon, a couple lifeguard themed icons and a marine patrol one that pretty much cover the gap I had in default icons.
I was annoyed that the SDRTrunk documentation didn't include recommended dimensions for custom icons.
Then I remembered that those 1990s Java Archive (JAR) files are just ZIP files! I figured I could use the built-in icons, which are stored in the
ImageMagick's
Then I remembered that those 1990s Java Archive (JAR) files are just ZIP files! I figured I could use the built-in icons, which are stored in the
images directory in lib/sdr-trunk-0.6.1.jar, for reference.ImageMagick's
identify command revealed that I was operating on a false premise. There is no single pair of height/width numbers for the included icons.

Any of them you'll never read what is in there, if there is any txt in it but from the shape and colors, I know what it is. I mainly did it so I could match alias name to an actual FD/PD emblem if I was able to get them. I managed to scour FB with all of my local FD to get their insignia for their departments. Did the same pretty much for the local law around me and so far everything has worked out just fine. On the latest nightly, in dark mode, I see where one of my icons did not get the transparent background but while I like the dark mode, I didn't like that there were no grid lines anymore so I've went back to 0.6.1.
