Documentation

Alist of category icon to be displayed in agenda views.

Each entry should have the following format:

  (CATEGORY-REGEXP FILE-OR-DATA TYPE DATA-P PROPS)

Where CATEGORY-REGEXP is a regexp matching the categories where the icon should be displayed. FILE-OR-DATA either a file path or a string containing image data.

The other fields can be omitted safely if not needed: TYPE indicates the image type. DATA-P is a boolean indicating whether the FILE-OR-DATA string is image data. PROPS are additional image attributes to assign to the image, like, e.g. :ascent center.

   ("Org" "/path/to/icon.png" nil nil :ascent center)

If you want to set the display properties yourself, just put a list as second element:

  (CATEGORY-REGEXP (MY PROPERTY LIST))

For example, to display a 16px horizontal space for Emacs category, you can use:

  ("Emacs" '(space . (:width (16))))

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.
