    1) on you computer download a backup of the wiser (on wiser -> Utilities tab then Backup)
    2) once the file zip file is downloaded eg mywiser.tar.gz unzip the file.
    3) you will then see a set of files and folder, the icons are in the icons folder and the images in the img folder.
    4) once you have made the changes you need zip all the icons up into one file.
    5) then on the wiser select the vis.graphics tab, the at the bottom select Add icons, then select the zip file (or just a single icon).

    As an owner, when I buy premium products, I don't take kindly to premium products trying to extort 1000% markups for something that should have been included. As a technology consultant, I have trouble recommending (with conviction) that a an expensive, incomplete, and ugly product, is a better proposition when compared to the endless cheap alternatives.

    Cheers

    100% percent agree with this sentiment.

    Im torn, while I wish wiser was a more polished product, I glad it is so customisable. A more polished product would have taken longer to market. ** also 100% agree about power supply **. Whats also lacking is technical info on customising etc. I see i a bit like a RPi (all be it way more expensive), not so exciting out of the box, but loads of potential.

    I wrote a free web app to recolor an entire collection of icons with a few clicks.
    svg.cab63.com
    Download the zipped icons as explained above, upload the zip on the site, recolor them and save the zip.
    It takes only a few minutes.
