# Feature: #92942 - Allow icon overlay for newContentElementWizard elements {#feature-92942}

See [forge#92942](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/92942)

## Description {#description}

The new Content Element wizard within the page module now allows
to define an icon overlay for each wizard element using the new
TSconfig option `iconOverlay` next to a defined `iconIdentifier`.

This is especially useful for custom content elements that use the
same `iconIdentifier` several times, but still have to be differentiated.

The full configuration path is
`mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.*.elements.*.iconOverlay`.

An example configuration could look like this:

```typoscript
mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems {
    common.elements {
        my_element {
            iconIdentifier = content-my-icon
            iconOverlay = content-my-icon-overlay
            title = LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/ContentTypes.xlf:my_element_title
            description = LLL:EXT:my_extension/Resources/Private/Language/ContentTypes.xlf:my_element_description
            tt_content_defValues {
                CType = my_element
            }
        }
    }
}
```

## Impact {#impact}

It's now possible to define an `iconOverlay` next to an `iconIdentifier`
for newContentElementWizard elements.
