If a custom SVG is added, several parameters are to take into consideration:

✅ Color managed by the icon color

ℹ️ In some cases, the color may not be managed by the Icon color, but have hard coded color in the SVG file. 
You can decide what suits best for your icon.

Tip

If you want to let Spotler Chat+ manage the color of the SVG, you need to open the SVG code file and remove the fill =  information.

 

❌ In some cases the SVG won't be able to resize properly. This is because the size is hard coded in the SVG code file. It will be noticable when the icon shows outside of the widget.
