Salesforce1 Custom Icons

You can customize the icon that is used in the Salesforce1 navigation menu. You set this icon in the Icon URL entry in the Basic Information section of the connected app settings for your canvas app. From Setup, click Create | Apps and click Edit for your connected app. The icon URL must be a secure HTTPS URL that points to an icon image file. The image file must be in the GIF, JPG, or PNG file format. For the Salesforce1 navigation menu, the icon cannot be larger than 60 pixels high by 60 pixels wide.

The custom icon that is used in the Salesforce1 navigation menu is also used in the Chatter tab and the Canvas App Previewer. If your canvas app will be shown in the navigation menu, we recommend that you use a 60x60 pixel size icon and let Salesforce automatically resize the icon to the smaller size that is needed for the Chatter tab and the Canvas App Previewer.

You can also customize the icon that is used in the Salesforce1 action bar and action menu for a canvas app. The action bar uses the custom icon set for the action that accesses the canvas app, not the custom icon that is associated with the connected app. You set the action icons by uploading a static resource file for your custom icon and then using this static resource as the icon for the global action. The static resource icon file should be in the PNG format, with a size of 120 pixels high by 120 pixels wide. See “Custom Icon Guidelines and Best Practices” in the Salesforce1 App Developer Guide for more guidelines on custom action icons.
