Do you want to set tab style in Salesforce? In Salesforce, the object icon or tab style is a visual representation related to each object in the Salesforce user interface.
Every day, you go through various applications on mobile, tablets, laptops, and workstations. These applications have icons that trigger a function on click. For example, the Dialer icon on your phone will allow you to dial a number.
So, icon plays an important role, and they can be used instead of labels, so it is important to choose an icon wisely. The icons help users to identify types of objects within the platform.
In this Salesforce tutorial, I will explain how to change icons for objects in Salesforce. I will also explain how to create a custom tab style in Salesforce.
How to Set Tab Style in Salesforce
You can set the tab style in Salesforce Lightning and Salesforce Classic. However, before setting the tab style, it is always recommended that you create an object in Salesforce.
When you are creating a custom object, at that moment, you can set up the tab style. But if later on you want to change the tab style of the Salesforce tab you can also do that.
