Hi,

  To expand on this. I'm really waiting for the day we can use our own custom images for the computer connection icons (pref without editing the preferences code).

  Perhaps more importantly, I could wish for the ability to change the default icon for each type of machine. I'm not a fan of the big light blue "X" on Macs and it's a pain to change every time.

  Thanks

  Couldn't agree more! Having the ability to use our own connection icons is a loooong overdue request that should have been implemented years ago. The current built-in icons are horrible.

  I figured out how to do it on a mac. I clicked this thread because I was also looking for a way to do this. But the way to add your own icons is to save them as .png files. Then with Jump Desktop closed follow these instructions:

  1. Navigate to JumpDesktop in Finder, right-click, select "Show Package Contents"
  2. It will open a new window with a folder named "Contents", open this folder
  3. then open the folder named "Resources"
  4. You're going to see a bunch of random files, you're looking for the first file named "com.p5sys.icons.android.robot.png", this is the Android Icon that is the first in the list
  5. edit that file name and select only this part of the file name: "com.p5sys.icons."
  6. for all of your .png files you want to add to Jump as icons, you're going to paste "com.p5sys.icons." in front of the file name AND to have it show up first in the list you need to add a category that will come before "android", like "ABC"
  7. EXAMPLE: "com.p5sys.icons.ABC.myLogo.png"
  8. So I took "com.p5sys.icons." and added "ABC.myLogo.png" to the file name of my icon I want to add
  9. once that is renamed you can add it to the "Resources" folder
  10. it may ask for your admin password to modify 
  11. do this for all your images, then close that finder window
  12. reopen JumpDesktop and when you go to edit your computers you will now see your icons show up as options to choose from. 
  13. Don't mess with anything else in the jump desktop app or you risk breaking the app and having to reinstall
  14. Enjoy

  Thanks for the detailed info Ben, but won't the custom icons you add to the `Contents` folder disappear when a new version of the app is released?
