SAP Commerce Cloud Backoffice icon converter

Simple Tool to create explorer tree icons for the SAP Commerce Backoffice interface from simple icon files.

Why is this needed?

The SAP Commerce Cloud Backoffice interface requires a special crafted sprite image to show it as icon in the explorer tree. This tool helps creating this sprites based on a simple icon file.

How to use it?

The simplest case is to convert a single icon. For this you must have an input icon meeting the following criterias:

• Size is 16x16 pixels (given by SAP Commerce)
• Transparent background (otherwise it will not really work)
• File format should be "png"

Run the following commands to create the sprite (replace the example icon with your own):

$ pip install sap-commerce-backoffice-icons
$ backofficeIconConverter exampleIcons/star.png
Process icon exampleIcons/star.png...
exampleIcons/star.png => exampleIcons/backoffice-star.png

That's it! Now you can use this icon sprite in your custom Backoffice extension as icon for your custom types. For more help on how to do this, see Tutorial.

You can also convert multiple icons:

$ backofficeIconConverter ~/FolderWithSomeIcons/* --output converted
