Back button

[cjjaeckson]

Hi there,

I would like to use a normal thingworx button widget as a back button. This is for design reasons, because in a normal button, you can insert a custom icon.
Unfortunately JS history.back() does not work in an expression. Does anyone know a way to do this without the back button widgets?
Case no:
In the back button widget is theoretically included in icon. However, this is white for me and I also do not get it visible. Does anyone know the parameter that sets the icon color?

Thanks alot!

Hi,

yes, I know the back button widget. But in that widget it is not possible to change the icon. Furthermore, I didn't find a parameter to change the color of the default icon. In my case I have a white icon with white background at the moment. You can imagine, that it is not visible.

Thanks for you help, but I thing my problem is a little bit more complex.

Anybody can help? Thanks!

At the end, I want a back button that looks like this:
