How to Modify the Button Icon

Instead of using the default button icon as in the example above, one can choose his own

icon. In this example we use a smiley icon (emoticon_smile.png, taken from

www.famfamfam.com), that replaces the caret (^) sign. To do so, you have to add an icon

to your system. The location of the icon in PyLabs is /opt/qbase5/www/lfw/img. This

directory already contains a set of graphics. For maintenance reasons it is recommended to

create a directory, for example icons in which you store the icons.
