found the problem and the solution:
...
addicon("metronom",tPath,0)
...
Is actually a FUNCTION and not a HANDLER as the dictionary states!?

So I could add my icon tot he "standard SVG lib" with:
...
 get addicon("fontawesome/metronom",tPath,0)
...

But can't we just click an icon in the inspector for the e.g. navigation bar widget
and the SVG lib pops up with a still way to small scrollbar anymore?

I click and click, no dice, will need to script this... :-/


Best

Klaus
