Now you don't have to anything special. Just make a package of your component 
project from the IDE, and install it globally. 

Or install it locally in your home directory in the 'make executable' dialog. 
Moreover, you can create a 'control' directory in your project, and put all 
control icons in it. The control icon must have the name of the control class 
in lowercase and must be a 'png' file.

If you install your component project locally, the IDE will refresh 
automatically and you will be able to use the controls in your forms 
immediately.
