Hi @Anonymous ,

 

There is no thumbs up icon in the default icon for powerbi visual objects.

Try modifying the capabilities.json file for the visual object, which is automatically generated when the visual object is created. Tell the host what data types the visual object accepts, what customizable properties to place in the properties pane, and any other information needed to create the visual object.

 

Refer to below document:

Hi @Anonymous 

Check the Power BI Marketplace for custom visuals that offer customization options, including the ability to add custom icons (or) you can develop your own custom visual using Power BI's custom visual framework. This would give you full control over the visual's appearance, including the header icons.


If you find this information helpful please accept this as solution. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your reply, I knew that I can develop custom visual in Power BI's custom visual framework.But the picture seems Power BI Native Functions.So I want to know if there some settings in Power BI is helpful .Anyway thanks again.

Hi @Anonymous 

Power BI native functions don't directly add custom icons within visuals, there are alternative ways to achieve a similar effect using conditional formatting or adding a separate icon column.
