Customize Icons

This section shows how to configure an application's icon for various platforms. Documentation about splash screen images can be found in the Cordova-Plugin-Splashscreen documentation Splashscreen plugin docs.

Configuring Icons in the CLI

When working in the CLI you can define application icon(s) via the <icon> element (config.xml). If you do not specify an icon, the Apache Cordova logo is used.

    <icon src="res/ios/icon.png" platform="ios" width="57" height="57" density="mdpi" />

Attributes	Description
src	Required Location of the image file, relative to your project directory
platform	Optional Target platform
width	Optional Icon width in pixels
height	Optional Icon height in pixels
density	Optional ==Android== Specified icon density
target	Optional ==Windows== Destination filename for the image file and all its' MRT companions

The following configuration can be used to define a single default icon which will be used for all platforms.

    <icon src="res/icon.png" />

For each platform, you can also define a pixel-perfect icon set to fit different screen resolutions.

##Android

    <platform name="android">
        <!--
            ldpi    : 36x36 px
            mdpi    : 48x48 px
            hdpi    : 72x72 px
            xhdpi   : 96x96 px
            xxhdpi  : 144x144 px
            xxxhdpi : 192x192 px
        -->
        <icon src="res/android/ldpi.png" density="ldpi" />
        <icon src="res/android/mdpi.png" density="mdpi" />
        <icon src="res/android/hdpi.png" density="hdpi" />
        <icon src="res/android/xhdpi.png" density="xhdpi" />
        <icon src="res/android/xxhdpi.png" density="xxhdpi" />
        <icon src="res/android/xxxhdpi.png" density="xxxhdpi" />
    </platform>

##Windows

For Windows the recommended approach to define application icons is to use the target attribute.

    <platform name="windows">
        <icon src="res/windows/storelogo.png" target="StoreLogo" />
        <icon src="res/windows/smalllogo.png" target="Square30x30Logo" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square44x44Logo.png" target="Square44x44Logo" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square70x70Logo.png" target="Square70x70Logo" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square71x71Logo.png" target="Square71x71Logo" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square150x150Logo.png" target="Square150x150Logo" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square310x310Logo.png" target="Square310x310Logo" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Wide310x150Logo.png" target="Wide310x150Logo" />
    </platform>

where src is the path to the icon which needs to be added.

The Windows platform handles MRT icons automatically, so if you specify src="res/windows/storelogo.png" the following files will be copied into the application's images folder: res/windows/storelogo.scale-100.png, res/windows/storelogo.scale-200.png, etc.

TODO Define what MRT is.

The target attribute specifies the base name for the resultant icons. For every icon file, its destination filename is calculated as target + '.' + MRT_qualifiers + extension(src). For the icons to display properly in the application, every target value should be one of the icon filenames defined in the application's .appxmanifest file.

Summarizing the above... using the target attribute it is possible to:

define a group of icons for different device scale factors using a single <icon ...> element, for example:

<icon src="res/windows/AppListIcon.png" target="Square44x44Logo" />

which is equivalent to the following lines:

<icon src="res/windows/Square44x44Logo.scale-100.png" width="44" height="44" />
<icon src="res/windows/Square44x44Logo.scale-150.png" width="66" height="66" />
<icon src="res/windows/Square44x44Logo.scale-200.png" width="88" height="88" />
<icon src="res/windows/Square44x44Logo.scale-240.png" width="106" height="106" />

define icons with scale factors other than scale-100 and scale-240 (and any other MRT qualifiers)

Although it is not recommended, it is also possible to define icons using the width and height attributes:

    <platform name="windows">
        <icon src="res/windows/logo.png" width="150" height="150" />
        <icon src="res/windows/smalllogo.png" width="30" height="30" />
        <icon src="res/windows/storelogo.png" width="50" height="50" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square44x44Logo.scale-100.png" width="44" height="44" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square44x44Logo.scale-240.png" width="106" height="106" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square70x70Logo.scale-100.png" width="70" height="70" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square71x71Logo.scale-100.png" width="71" height="71" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square71x71Logo.scale-240.png" width="170" height="170" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square150x150Logo.scale-240.png" width="360" height="360" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Square310x310Logo.scale-100.png" width="310" height="310" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Wide310x150Logo.scale-100.png" width="310" height="150" />
        <icon src="res/windows/Wide310x150Logo.scale-240.png" width="744" height="360" />
    </platform>
