As you can see from the figures, the customization can be divided to two parts, the Node and the Link. At the Node part, user may select the icon that need to be updated, and then fill in the path of the new image (or click the “…” button to choose from the file chooser window). Hit the Update button to update the new image icon. Besides, user can also decide whether to show the indication of the AP-unit, which is the IP Address, by using the available checkbox; and alter the foreground color of the IP Address using the “…” button to select a desired color from the popup window. Hit the Save & Apply Changes button to commit the changes. The Use Default button enables the user to restore the default settings of the AP unit look and feel.

Meanwhile, in order to change the style of the link, switch the Map Customization Tool to the Link page. User can change the color by hitting the “…” button to select a desired color from the popup window. Then key in the thickness of the link and its dashing pattern. The dashing pattern defines the way the dashed link look like. The following table explains how to use the dashing pattern.
