Thanks for tagging me @heche. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer Unfortunately, the robot launcher button icon cannot be removed or replaced through the standard widget configuration options. [(1) ]() The launcher button is inside a closed Shadow DOM, so regular CSS overrides won't work. [(2) ]() Your options: 1. Build a custom launcher — The only way to fully replace the robot icon is to create your own custom button/icon and connect it to the Retell Chat Widget via the API. 2. Use available customizations — You can customize the logo inside the chat window using
data-logo-url
, but this does not affect the launcher button itself. [(1) ]()
Copy code
html
data-logo-url="YOUR_LOGO_URL"
If having a custom launcher icon is important for your use case, you'd need to build your own launcher UI. Let me know if you'd like more details on that approach.
