Using other selectors

We've almost covered all the available selectors. The remaining ones are similar to the previous selectors. Therefore, we'll just describe each one, and discuss any new features if they are applicable.

We will discuss the following selectors:

  • Icon
  • Filters
  • Push and toggle buttons

A green icon indicates good performance, while a red icon requires more attention. The title will be displayed when the user hovers over the icon component at runtime.
