Changing a icon after a macro has been triggered

[Snurre]

Yes I've ended up with a bit of a collection of macro buttons on the home screen and I agree Kustom is probably the way forward. But I couldn't figure out how to 'toggle' the icons as per macrodroid

I am using this for a WiFi button
First make the macro

Next I made two other macro's to change the icon, I could have done it with just the one, but I choose to do it this way because if another macro, app or something enables/disables WiFi it will change the icon as well


I choosed to fade the icon when off and 'light up' when on but you can also pick a totally different icon
I'm also using this approach on Bluetooth, Fastcharge, Adb WiFi, Airplanemode and connect to my car
Hope this can help you

As your macros are very short, you could gather them 3 in 1 with the 3 different triggers and then test which trigger fired and apply appropriate actions.

I think it'll a bit easier to maintain if you happen to have a lot of macros: this one will be the one to deal with WiFi, another one for Bluetooth and so on, for instance...

Ok, I think I see your point
Is it something like this you mean:

I just tryed it a couple of times and it seems to work

Yes but it would be even much better using 1 'If' statement with 'Else if' actions.

Yeah, I'm just a beginner but it makes sence
I will try that

Using 'Else if' action, your macro(s) will run faster because MD won't have to test every 'If' statement and will stop testing conditions as soon as the appropriate one is found.

Another way to write it in a more "elegant" manner could be:
If rotaz=1 do all actions according to this value
Else if rotaz=2 do all actions according to this value
Else rotaz=0 + do all actions according to this value
Endif

Thanks I think I'm getting the hang of this. However I can set up a fairly simple IF ENDIF macro but I can't find the 'ELSE' action to insert after the first 'IF'? There doesn't seem to be an 'ELSE' action in the menu? Can you point me? Thanks.

Just tap on the 'If' action and select it in the menu

Found it, thanks. Should have looked harder!

Thanks I've got this working and 'toggling' through the volume change which is great. Throws a whole new light on the Macrodroid functionality.
