You can edit the icon, used to depict all instances of a component definition in the network, in the component definition's properties window.
Additionally you can adjust some of the default visualization options such as background and text colors.

Pathfinder provides a library containing more than 40 icons.
You can use custom icons for your components as well. Use any svg creation software, for example inkscape, for this purpose. Note: Please remove the alpha channel before exporting.
To insert custom icons, place the svg files of the icon in “...\Templates\topview-icons” in the Pathfinder installation folder.
