Slate Icon Browser

This small tool lets you browse Unreal Engine's Editor icons/brushes easily, search for specific ones and copy slate code for the selected icon.

Invocation

When the plugin is activated there's only one window which you can open via Tools -> Slate Icon Browser.

Features

Searching

Using the search bar it's possible to filter the icons based on their names.

Select a Style Set

Using a dropdown menu you can select another style set besides the default Editor style.

Non-Image Brushes

Non-image brushes (like solid colors) will be displayed with a default size as a simple square.

Copying Slate Code

Slate Icon Browser supports multiple code copying styles:

  • FSlateIcon(...)
  • FSlateIconFinder::FindIcon(...)
  • Custom style

The first two are quite obvious: They allow copying C++ code like the following:

FSlateIcon(FAppStyle::GetAppStyleSetName(), "Icon")
FSlateIcon(FName("SomeStyle"), "Icon")
FSlateIconFinder::FindIcon("Icon")

A few default styles will be replaced by the generic class call (like FAppStyle::GetAppStyleSetName()) while others will be copied as a FName reference instead (using FName("SomeStyleSet")).

Custom Style is a little different: It allows you to specify a code fragment manually in a separate input field. In this input field, the string $1 will be replaced by the code of the icon.

All three copy styles are also available in the context menu that appears by right-clicking a list entry.

As with everything source-code related you are supposed to read it before you include it and adjust it to make it work in your environment.
