Working with SVGs
As the number of web sites hosting icon collections has grown over the years, it makes little sense to have your own collection of icons custom created at a costly premium. Typically, you can find pretty much any icon you could ever want to use and in many cases, you can even modify the icon to fit your specific needs if you need a slight variation.
With the release of Creative Commons licensing, a wide array of freely available collections and the easy ability to modify icons, you can quickly create exactly what you need for most any FileMaker app.
In this video, I go over the recently released Elemental FM Icon database and I cover all the details and specifics about my own personal icon workflow. From finding the right icon to getting it into FileMaker quickly, you'll learn all kinds of information about working with SVG icons.

Elemental for version 16?
I cannot open the elemental file in version 16. Is there any way to make it backwards compatible or get most of the good stuff out of it so it can be used in version 16?

Elemental in 16
hi Judy, Daniel here developer of Elementa. I have sent you an email about why it's not 16 compatible, but have also included a link to a custom version just for you which will work (albeit not perfect) in 16. thanks.
