Compound button icons
Hello - I'm trying to use the Square button prefab from Holotoolkit.
I've assigned some icons to the Compound Button Icon component, e.g. those under Common Gesture Icons.
Clicking on the dropdown box labelled 'Icon' below, i can SEE a large list of icons from the profile to choose to display on this prefab instance. However the only ones i can SELECT are the pre-canned "Custom Icons", i.e. ObjectCollectionCylinder, ObjectCollectionSphere etc.
I cannot select the ones i have assigned icons to. i.e. Adjust Hologram, Camera etc.
Are there certain sprite properties required, or another trick involved, to get your own icon of choice working ?

Hello Braden
I can't seem to find the reason behind that issue but I solved it by following steps:
1)Create new ButtonIconProfileTexture and then try to add a custom icon(this part It appears to be null reference and I cant add any custom icon)
2)Find ButtonIconProfileTexture Script and select any texture for the script( Drag, Air Tap, ....) and you will see back in the NewButtonIconProfileTexture that you can add custom icons
3)In the DEFAULTS: Icon material choose ButtonIconMaterial, IconMesh choose UIButtonSquareIcon, then add your new custom icons
After this steps, you will be able to select your custom icon in the Icon list!5

ok...1)Create new ButtonIconProfileTexture seemed to be enough.
After that i was able to change the dropdown to other icons.
I could also delete the new ButtoniconProfileTexture that was created, and was ok to continue changing icons on the default ButtonIconProfileTexture.
The icons are visible in 'Scene' window, invisible in 'Game' window, and invisible in Play mode...but running in Hololens, they are visible.
