RE: [dsdp-tm-dev] Request for API change: systemType icon properties
|
PS:
Actually, the fallback to using the <property> markup
for the icons would come in automatically, since I
wouldn't change the internal representation, so the
"enableOffline", "icon" and "iconLive" properties
would still be supported.
Cheers,
