Set default template icons by operating system type

Administrators can configure the UI with the default icons to display for the operating systems of VM templates. These icons will display instead of the default template icon from the branding theme.

The user interface will display the default icons if:

• The administrator configures a matching operating system on the Advanced tab

• The administrator does not configure a custom icon on the General tab

• The user does not configure a custom icon for the VM

When users create templates from VMs with default template icons, the platform will not copy the default template icons to the VM configuration. See VM icon display priority below

To configure default template icons:

1. In the Abiquo UI custom configuration file, for each operating system type, add a link to the icon. See Configure Abiquo UI.

   1. The property is in the format: client.ostype.icon.{OSTYPE}

   2. If no specific icon type is supplied, the default icons will be used. See the list at Configure Abiquo UI#DefaultUIconfiguration.

2. Edit a VM template and go to Advanced. Select the appropriate Operating system type. 

VM icon display priority

When users create VMs from templates, the icons of the VM display in this priority order:

1. User's custom VM icon

2. Administrator's custom template icon

3. Branding theme default template icon
