This Answer shows how to use a user-defined icon when using the thebibliography environment. How can I redefine the icons if I use \printbibliography from biblatex?

Edit:

In the answer I linked to, each bibliography item is set manually, and so you can add 

\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}{\includegraphics[width=1.5em]{ctanlion}}
\bibitem{A} CTAN lion drawing by Duane Bibby.

in front of each seperate entry if you wanted to. With \printbibliography the whole bibliography is typeset. So if I were to say

\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}{\includegraphics[width=1.5em]{ctanlion}}
\printbibliography

it would appear in front of the bibliography as a whole, not even in front of the first entry.

  • Isn't that described in the second answer to the question you linked to? – Benjamin Feb 19 '16 at 13:42
  • @Benjamin, I hope that makes the difference clearer. Or maybe I'm missing something. – Psirus Feb 19 '16 at 13:48
  • I think you still haven't read the other answer: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/68084/30195 – Benjamin Feb 19 '16 at 13:51
  • You're right, I missed it. However, this explains how you can assign the default icons to other entry types. I still don't know how to cobble the two answers together so that I have custom icons. – Psirus Feb 19 '16 at 13:57

    Do you want all entries to have the same custom icon? If not, how do you propose to tell biblatex which item gets which icon? – moewe Feb 19 '16 at 15:13
  • I don't want of all them to have the same icon. My idea, although I don't know how to implement it, was sort of two combine the two answers to the previous question. In the first answer, it is shown how to use a custom icon for a manual entry. In the second answer, the icons are typeset according to the biblatex entry type. Some sort of combination of the two should achieve what I want, no? – Psirus Feb 19 '16 at 15:38

    If you can tell me what you want, that might be possible, yes. But you need a way to tell biblatex which icon to pick for which entry. In the second answer for example you can simply replace the \setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[online] bits by \setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}{\includegraphics[width=1.5em]{ctanlion}} to get your custom icon for @online entries. But you could also make sure that not the type but a keyword decides which icon to use. ... There are quite some ways to do that. What did you have in mind? – moewe Feb 19 '16 at 15:50

    Please add a complete minimal example, complete with sample .bib entries. This will not only make it easier to help you, it will also make it more likely that the help you receive will actually be useful. – cfr Feb 20 '16 at 03:18
  • @moewe Sorry if I have been a bit thick, but your comment is what I was looking for. Maybe I was too tired, but I couldn't make that connection. Thanks. Post it as an answer and I'll accept. – Psirus Feb 20 '16 at 07:49
  • Mhhh, now it is me being thick. I still don't quite know what you want. I think my comment doesn't add real value to the answers in the other question as of now. If you can explain what it is you want to do, I will happily create an answer. – moewe Feb 20 '16 at 07:53

    Would you be OK with closing your question as a duplicate of Beamer Bibliography Icon? – moewe Feb 22 '16 at 15:31
  • Sure, no worries – Psirus Feb 22 '16 at 18:06
