Description

Default Component Palette

Select the palette that you want to use when you drag stream attributes onto a layout or area. PhixFlow uses this palette when its container application is running.

If the container application for is not running, PhixFlow uses:

• either the default palette set for the area.

• or the default palette for the destination application when you are dragging stream attributes into a layout for a different (destination) application that is running.

If you do not set a default palette, PhixFlow uses the system default palette.

Application Icon

Select an uploaded  image to use in the application menu card for this application. We recommend an image size of approximately:

• height: up to 100 pixels
• width: 100 to 150 pixels.

See Image for how to upload an image to PhixFlow.
