On Outlook 2010 and later, the Outlook Plugin replaces the default Room Finder icon on the Appointment ribbon with a blue A icon.

As usual, the ribbon can reorganize depending on the available width, making the icon appear smaller or larger. The layout of the ribbon is defined in the InspectorView/Ribbon2010.xml file (matching the default layout). Note the InspectorView/Ribbon.xml file contains an alternative layout that was applied in Outlook 2007.

The screenshots below show the icon in different sizes.

When offline, the Outlook Plugin displays a different button image with an exclamation mark and changes the screentip from 'Room Finder' to 'Room Finder (not connected)'. The following screenshots show the different image, also in different sizes.

The icons are included as resources in Properties/Resources.resx and passed to Outlook via Ribbon.toggleButton1_GetImage(). Other methods of the Ribbon class are used to set the label, screentip, and pressed state of the button.
