Material design custom controls and icons

I have downloaded and installed the Material Design 3 custom controls from the Nintex gallery into our K2 5.9 test instance, and am seeing some issues with the rendering of controls.

Firstly in View design, it does not seem to render icons at all - it just shows the name of the icon. This I can live with, although not ideal for authoring. Also row heights do not increase with the control heights, so it is not always possible to view the full control - especially with Cards. When you try to select the controls to edit the properties, you must click right at the top of the table cell, and only a slither seems to be selected, rather than the whole control itself - I assume this is what is preventing the row height from increasing.

Probably most annoying is that not all icons are displaying correctly or anything like how they show in Google fonts - for instance the ‘person_book’ icon simply displays as a person icon next to a book icon. I assume I am missing a <link> somewhere? Adding a literal data label referencing the stylesheet as per https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/material_symbols#use_in_web doesn’t seem to help.

 

Any pointers?

Hi there! There is a fix pack for 5.9, we’ve addressed a few bugs since the release around controls. Check it out and try the latest FP, and let us know if the issues still persist. I’ll also take a look at the gallery controls.

We’ve updated the gallery download for the Material Design controls, go download a fresh copy off https://gallery.nintex.com/t/material-design please and give it a whirl. And, make sure https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,GRAD@20..48,100..700,0..1,-50..200 is accessible via the K2 server, that could block some of the icons from appearing properly.

Thanks!

Hi ​@tobrien_stewart has this been resolved?

Hi. I have applied the latest fix pack, but still getting the display issues with rendering the Material Design controls in ‘View’ designer. Using the new version of controls hasn’t helped and it seems to be missing the split button.

Our app server has access to fonts.googleapis.com but I notice that it also points to https://fonts.gstatic.com so have asked to whitelist this and will see if that solves the icon issue.

Thanks for your help!
