How do I change the appearance of messages in OMNeT++?

In the manual it says the following:

To customize the appearance of messages in the graphical runtime environment, override the getDisplayString() method of cMessage or cPacket to return a display string.

I don't understand what this means. I have custom images and I was able to change the icon of nodes with the line below in my simple module.

@display("i=misc/train-stationCopy");

I have the line below in my message class but it does not work and generates error

@display("i=misc/train");

What am I missing? Sorry I'm new to omnet++ and c++.

Add this to your .msg file. This will enforce the generation of the getDisplayString() function in the *_msg.h file.

const string displayString @override = "i=misc/train";
