Custom VM Icons #225

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

I was looking through the phpvirtualbox code and saw in the util.js where icons 
are defined for the VMs. I made a couple custom icons and added the appropriate 
lines to that js file, but I forgot one important fact. Virtualbox has a 
predefined list of osType values. So if I edit the .vbox file for a VM and edit 
the osType to the new value, it breaks the VM. That all makes sense and I 
understand why it does that.

Would it be possible to add the ability to assign a custom icon to a VM 
independent of the osType association? I believe this would be adding 
functionality to phpvirtualbox, that isn't in the core app.

I'll put my hand up for this.  I have 6 VMs on one host, all running Ubuntu 64 
so to tell them apart I give them individual names like Eli, Brody, Volker, 
Camile (you get the idea and yes, my VM host is called Destiny ;) ).  It would 
be great if I could tell them apart at a glance with a different icon.  In my 
case I would be a dork and put a photo of each character, others may do 
something more professional.  I think this would be incredibly helpful because 
as soon as you get more than a few machines of the same type it get's bland.  
This could help add that personal touch.

I see that as of 2011-05-24 this feature has been added.  How do I go about 
making an icon change?  Thanks!
