Feature Improvement: Status controls could have a way to have icons instead of the default letters

[gbritoda]

Description
For the Status GUI control, instead of showing E, S, I and W, it would be nice to have a way to put icons in it instead.

Acceptance Criteria

• Ensure new code is unit tested, and check code coverage is at least 90%
• Propagate any change on the demos and run all of them to ensure there is no breaking change
• Ensure any change is well documented
• Status control from TaiPy gui can have Icons instead of the default letters

Hello @pravintargaryen,

Our core maintainer team still needs to review this issue. We are still determining if or how we want to include it in the taipy library. Please give us some time to review the issue before engaging it. This should not be long.

Meanwhile, I invite you to look at the issues with the labels "good first issue" or "Help wanted". These tickets have been reviewed, approved and are opened for a contribution.

thank you.

Thank you @jrobinAV and @pravintargaryen

The real difficulty is going to be to keep the control's property API backward compatible.
We certainly can help designing this.

Hi @jrobinAV,

Apologies for being behind schedule

Working on new icons from Material UI for the frontend status component. Have to test it though.

\taipy\frontend\taipy-gui\src\components\Taipy\Status.tsx
\taipy\frontend\taipy-gui\src\components\Taipy\StatusList.tsx

No pb. Take the time you need, of course.

Are the new icons "in line" with the icons we already use ?
I thought you'd design a way to provide external icons ie allows the developer to add icons without changing the taipy-gui bundle.
