Not sure I follow how 'icon' is a PortletState (or for channels PortalEvent). Those are the state the channel/portlet is rendered in. I believe this is more a description of the published channel, like a title or category.

I am desiring to have icons associated with portlets, at least the main ones (email, calendar, news, announcements, rss, etc.). Do you know of any way to identify the portlet as one of these other than the fname or title? The fname/title will be tricky without some ugly parsing or standardization of naming.

It would be nice to have something like a "type" attribute on the <channel> node for this, where an email portlet would register itself as type=email, a calender portlet as type=calendar, etc. It could also be done as a custom parameter in the portlet manager, but it would obviously be preferable for the system to do it automatically.

Any thoughts?

Gary
