Hi Einav, exactly. VMs inherit icons form Templates and their icons can be later edited. I've added some info regarding icon inheritance and pool on wiki. Jakub ----- Original Message -----

Thanks, Jakub,
so regardless of VM pools: I understand that a VM will inherit the icon from the Template it is based on by default, with an option to override it, obviously (within the New/Edit VM dialog)? (haven't noticed anything about it in the wiki page)

Hi Einav,
current plan is that icon of will not be editable and will be simply copied form the template the pool is based on. I believe that there is not much need to edit icon of pool since pool are not directly visualized using icons in Userportal.
AFAIK pools (even those containing multiple VMs) are displayed as one entity in Userportal. So icon of the pool will be used. Internally there will be an icon stored in each VM object in case of detaching from pool. Editing the icon will only be possible after detaching.
(This is only first shot. It's not supposed to be comprehensive but rather small coherent step to improve user experience. Of course there is plenty of room for enhancements.)
Best regards. Jakub

Hi Jakub,
Is this also expected to affect VM pools? I.e. will I be able to associate an icon with:
- the VM Pool object, which will affect the icon for a pool when displayed in the user portal?
- all VMs created within a VM Pool (i.e. via the Add/Edit Pool dialog), which will affect the icon for all pooled-VMs once displayed in the user portal (and can this icon potentially be overridden for each VM individually via the 'Edit VM' dialog)?
---- Thanks, Einav

Hi,
I started to work on new engine UI feature - VM icons (http://www.ovirt.org/Features/VM_Icons). It allows to customize Userportal icons of VMs and Templates using uploaded images. Any comments are welcome.
