Hi, I'm just starting out as an Alloy developer, but I would like to do something similar to:

code

and I am getting error:

Exception occurred at alloy/widgets/com.mattmcfarland.fontawesome/controllers/widget.js:13: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'icon' of undefined.

I've followed the installation instructions verbatim, so I don't really know what's causing the problem. Am I just not allowed to use FA with tabgroups?

Hi there,

You should be able to use them as tabgroups. Try inserting the <Widget> inside each of the tabgroup's <Windows>

Lilke

...
<Tab>
    <Window>
         ...
        <Widget ... />
   </Window>
</Tab>
<Tab>
    <Window>
        ...
        <Widget ... />
    </Window>
</Tab>
....

Hey, Matt the widget works for everything inside of the <windows> tag. But I am trying to get the icon to display inside of the tab, which I have had no luck accomplishing.

Edit: By inside of the tab, I mean LITERALLY inside the physical tab in my program.

Oh the actual tab itself? Yea I don’t think that is possible how it is set up right now. However, if the actual tab can have a custom font then this can be done.

Ok thanks for letting me know! I'll look into the custom font suggestion.

@MattMcFarland has the library been updated to work as a tab image? Or @Bjacobs30 did you find a solution using custom fonts?
