Icons: small images of their own size for pages
Bitmaps that only pages use (backgrounds, images by state) are now icons: own width and height, stored in /icons, not in the page lists or the Home Assistant dropdowns. Page backgrounds and image elements use icons or bitmaps; the renderer gets icons expanded at the top left, so pages look the same. Web UI: Icons tab with an editor, Make icon / Make bitmap, Save as icon on the Draw tab, icons in the backup. A one-time migration in time-boxed steps moves the uploaded bitmaps that only pages use, after the new firmware is marked good. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Icons
|
||||
|
||||
Small images (1 x 1 up to 84 x 19 dots, each its own size) for dynamic pages: an Image
|
||||
element, or a background (drawn at the top left). Icons are never shown on their own, so
|
||||
they are not in the page lists (Show, Schedule, rules, Home Assistant "Mode"). Each icon
|
||||
shows its size and the pages that use it. The editor: draw dots, change the size (the dots
|
||||
stay at the top left), crop to the dots, clear, invert, load an image (scaled to the icon
|
||||
size), show it on the display. "Make bitmap" turns an icon into a full screen bitmap.
|
||||
|
||||
Firmware 2.10.0 made icons of all uploaded bitmaps that only pages used (backgrounds and
|
||||
images, not shown by the schedule, a rule, the chosen page or the off image), once, after
|
||||
the new firmware was marked as good. They keep their names and land on the same dots, so
|
||||
the pages didn't change.

## Draw / Live
|

|

Draw on an 84 x 19 canvas (click or drag), or load an image: it is converted in the
|
||||
browser (threshold, invert, dithering, fit / fill / stretch). "Show on display now" sends
|
||||
it to the display right away (*live mode*); with "live while drawing" every change appears
