How do I change the icon for a category?
I have deleted some categories and added some, yet only the ones provided after Installation have custom symbols. How do I add or change the symbol for categories?
If this is not possible yet, I strongly suggest creating such a feature.

Inappropriate?At this moment you can't change a category icon. You can rename existing categories but you can't change category icons.
We have planned to add support for more custom categories soon. (not in the next release but soon thereafter) -
Inappropriate?Here's how you hack an icon:
I'm sure future updates will mess this up but in the meantime...
You need to choose an icon that you are not currently using. Using the desktop app assign that category with the new name that you want even if the icon is totally different than what you want. You will change that next.
Locate the Cha-Ching app on your computer in the Applications folder of your Mac. control-click it to bring up the contextual menu and select "Show Package Contents"
Open the "Resources" folder, it's inside "Contents"
Locate the icon for the category you wish to change. There will be two for each category named:
CategoryIcon_.png
CategoryIcon__white.png
Copy both to your desktop and open in your favorite image editing program. I use Photoshop.
Change at will. Make sure to keep them the same size and save as .png files.
Also you will need to leave the names exactly the same as the original categories.
Note: you also have to make the white one. It's easy if you just copy the original black and white and then make it white.
Replace the originals, reopen cha-ching and you are set.

Just realized that this doesn't fix the icon on the phone. It only fixes the one on the desktop app.
