Obviously, there is currently no quick or easy way to do this. So, would it be possible to have such a feature? It could work from a number of places, but probably the quickest and easiest way to implement it is under

Can we customize the default client-facing icons?
Is there any way to customize the client-facing icons that display in the Zoho Bookings UI? For example, I'm using the Default page theme and would like to modify the default icon that is shown beside "Service."

It would be great if Zoho could provide a different, more generic icon (perhaps a bell icon to represent service?) or better yet allow the icons to

Equivalent domains
Need a settings feature for adding/modifying/deleting domains that use the same login service.

Can't verify DKIM key?
So basically I just wanted to verify the email on my domain so it doesn't showup as spam in other people's inboxes. So I did what Zoho told me to do, it was to verify a DKIM key. I created the key with the address, added the correct information to the TXT file in my domain's DNS settings, tried to verify it and it keeps saying 'Verification failed'. I tried it more then once, I reset the DKIM key, and for some reason it just won't verify. Either it's me being impatient or this thing isn't working.
