Hello Raphael,

To change an icon in the palette entry go to UMLPaletteFactory#create<element_kind>CreationTool().
Modify code that sets icon.
For Actor element it will be 'createActor2CreationTool()' method,
entry.setSmallIcon(UMLElementTypes.getImageDescriptor(UMLEle mentTypes.Actor_2002));
code.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.

Hello Tatiana!!!

Ok, I found this line in UMLElementTypes class:

public static final IElementType Actor_2002 =
getElementType("org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.usecase.Actor_2002 ");
//$NON-NLS-1$

So sorry for the question, but, where did it find the location in my
computer for the images?!?

Does it search for images in
"\org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.common\icons\obj16" directory?! If yes, where
should I change this in the source?!?

Thanks again Tatiana,
Thanks for your pacience!!

Hello Raphael!!

As I understand now, you want to change icons everywhere - not only in the
toolbar, but also element icons and icons in the modeling assistant.
Icons are provided by UMLItemProviderAdapterFactory class from org.eclipse.uml2.uml.edit
plugin. It takes them from org.eclipse.uml2.uml.edit\icons\obj16.

You can implement your own UMLItemProviderAdapterFactory which returns icons
that you need. You can take AlternativeUMLItemProviderAdapterFactory from
our org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.common plugin as example. It is it that takes
icons from \org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.common\icons\obj16. This factory provides
alternative icons in ClassD if a user changes icon style in the preferences
page.

Best wishes,
Tatiana.
