Custom Perspective Icons Across Devices

Are custom perspective icons supposed to sync / propagate across platforms and devices?

Generally speaking, custom perspective icons sync between devices. However, OmniFocus 4 introduced new built-in icons. If you’re using these new icons for your perspectives on devices running OmniFocus 4, they won’t be available on devices running OmniFocus 3. I hope this helps!

Thank you @timstringer. I am running OmniFocus 4 across the board, so OmniFocus 3 is not a concern.

The icons did eventually make their way to other devices but definitely not as quickly as new actions or even changes in custom perspective definitions do.

You’re welcome @dempsey.

Are you using your own graphics or the built-in perspective icons? If it’s the former, it could take slightly longer to sync (though, based on past experience, I wouldn’t expect much of a lag).

Consider dropping a line to Omni Support (if you haven’t already). There may be room for further optimization.

I am using my own graphics.
