Adding field icon in script

I'm using the following code in a UI Policy to add a gold background color to my Contact field on my case form, when a certain value (TRUE) is set on a field in the Contact table. This is working successfully. However, I'd like to add an icon instead of a background color. How would I change ctrl.style.backgroundColor = 'gold'; to use an icon instead?

I would use the built-in "addDecoration" function.  Here's an example from an onChange Client Script we use:

//remove any existing decoration
g_form.removeDecoration("status", "icon-stop-watch", "Status", "color-orange");
g_form.removeDecoration("status", "icon-error-circle", "Status", "color-red");
g_form.removeDecoration("status", "icon-success-circle", "Status", "color-green");


var color = "";
var icon = "";
switch (newValue) {
  case "80":
  case "100":
    color = "color-orange";
    icon = "icon-stop-watch";
    break;
  case "200":
  case "300":
    color = "color-red";
    icon = "icon-error-circle";
    break;
  case "1000":
    color = "color-green";
    icon = "icon-success-circle";
}
if (color) {
  g_form.addDecoration("status", icon, "Status", color);
}

 

We show a different icon/color combination based on the value of a field.

This is how it ends up looking:
