Can the vector icons in this theme be replaced by raster image icons?

I like raster(png, jpeg, etc) image icons better than fontawesome and other font icons. Is it possible to replace the latter with the former in this theme? if yes, how? Thanks in advance. This theme is awesome.

Hi @tcepertintodo,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

You can achieve this by creating raster(png, jpeg, etc) image icons and then develop CSS code to replace the fontawesome icon with raster icons using background-image property of CSS as following.

.social-icons i.social_icon.fa {
    display: none;
}
#menu-social li a[href*="twitter.com"] {
    background: url("http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/paper.gif") no-repeat;
}

Best Regards,
Movin

Wow you have got to be kidding me! This kind of effort for support for a free theme? I’m so grateful. By the way I wasnt only asking about social icons but for all of the font icons. Anyway I will try to figure those out myself as I know php and css and stuff even if not yet on a practical level. I have problems to ascertain selectors though. Could you provide the selectors of the website elements that are using font icons so I can replace those with custom ones? Also tell me if you have any premium blog themes as I am going to upgrade to one.

It’s the same process for other font icons also to apply background image as described above.

There are a lot of selectors for font icons in the theme and we don’t have list of it but you can try finding it yourself by referring the information provided on the following pages.

Currently we don’t have any premium theme. All our themes are free themes which you can find here Best Responsive WordPress Themes 2023 - Colorlib

Awesome! Thanks. However, why would you not have a premium theme is beyond my understanding.

You are most welcome here :slight_smile:

Because we are providing all functionality of premium themes in our free themes and users like free themes :slight_smile:
