Hello i wanna know if it's possible to change the colors of the images? I have tried by using Inkscape, but it doesn't work, how can I refresh my changes?

I think these are images that are installed with Roam. So editing them on your machine will only work on your machine. (but I do think it should work on your machine). Updates sent to your update server will not include this information. The only way I can think that you could pass that on is to include a script in the sync section of Roam to copy the symbols that you want to use from perhaps your c:\Roam\Projects_data folder (which is included in the data updates) to the C:\Roam\lib\roam\resources\images folder.

To get something under the Sync heading (in this case a .bat file) you have to manually add a section on a new line in the project.config file after project_version called providers: e.g.:

providers: Download SQL data (requires MCMC vpn): cmd: sync_data.bat type: replication variables: LOCALDATABASE: Roam

The bat file needs to be in the c:\Roam\projects\yourproject folder. (or at least it works if it is there).

Good luck! Roam is not well documented is it?

Edit: Alternatively, in principle, you could build your own version of Roam with the different coloured symbols built in.

Build my own version of Roam in local is possible, normally just by changing the resource's images ? Because if it's that it doesn't work :(

Maybe Roam isn't actually drawing the images from there??? Sorry, out of my depth here.
