Flexibility to configure the Button and Icon size and design as per our choice

I couldn't find a way to use my custom Icon for a button/icon in Maximo Mobile. I raised a support ticket, and I was advised to raise an enhancement idea for it.

There was a need to make the icons smaller - I couldn't find a way to do it.

Another requirement was to add Labels to the icons - it's supported but labels are hidden in portrait mode when using a mobile phone. 

Resizing the icons - Having multiple Icons on the List page of TECHMOBILE page makes it very busy and I couldn't find a way to reduce the size of the icon.

Customer wants to use custom icons and I couldn't find a way to use a custom icon.

In all, it will be good to have flexibility to configure the button/icon as per our choice.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    I am sorry to inform you that our team has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented in the near-term. There are some options available though.

    1. Using the icon-group component, you can define the size and add a label to a non-interactive icon using the MAF configuration app.

    2. For buttons, you can use CSS customization feature to alter the icon sizes further if you wish. See more here https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/masv-and-l/continuous-delivery?topic=interface-updating-user

    3. In MAS 9.1, you will be able to use to define any icon in this list using MAF configuration's new <carbon-icon-reference> ability

    4. You can use an <image> in the MAF tool to place a fully custom icon on the page as a visual decoration
