I noticed that there's a way to change the icons for each agent/category easily however there is no way to set an icon for each individual category. For example I have two movie base agents: 1) Education 2) Movies. If I change the icon and name it Movies under the server folder than it changes that icon for both Education and Movies. I'm wanting a&nbsp;separate&nbsp;icon for Education than what is used for Movies so it's more&nbsp;aesthetically&nbsp;pleasing and also easier to spot.

&nbsp;

In short, what I'm wondering if there is a way to make a custom agent then apply the metadata search engine(or whatever it's called)?

&nbsp;

Thanks!&nbsp;
