Scene view symbols come from SVG files: the behavior, container, rigidbody, camera and particles icons live in src/viewport/icons/ and are changed by editing the file and running npm run build; they are bundled, parsed once and drawn into a Graphics by the new module symbolIcons.ts, currentColor becomes the theme color of the symbol, the origin sits in the middle with a centered viewBox and the same units as before, so the symbols are pixel for pixel unchanged; what depends on the object (camera frame, collider outline, one-way cone) stays in code; unit tests keep the files to what Pixi's SVG parser and a browser draw alike (no transform, no polygon, fill always given), e2e 5c reads the five symbols in the theme color (#175)
