kamran | Hi
Could someone kindly clarify how to install and make use of fontawesome icon fonts I remember doing it some time back with version 1.0 of EWB but for some reason I cant work out and remember the steps for EWB 2. I downloaded the version 4.7 files as follows: FontAwesome.otf fontawesome-webfont.eot fontawesome-webfont.svg fontawesome-webfont.ttf fontawesome-webfont.woff fontawesome-webfont.woff2 So which files do i need to use and how are they setup for use within EWB? Cheers Kamran |

<< Could someone kindly clarify how to install and make use of fontawesome icon fonts >> You do realize that EWB 2.x uses Font Awesome for its icon font (EWBIcons), correct ? In other words, you don't have to do anything to use Font Awesome, it's already built in. Having said that, there *are* some missing icons that have been stripped out, most notably all company-specific icons (social media, etc). Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

kamran | Hi Tim
Thanks for that Tim , but all I can see in my list when i try to select an icon is: Add, Edit, Delete .....and lastly Prior icon eg on a panel and in "IconName" 1. Where are the other icons hiding then ? 2. Do I need to include or register any files anywhere ? thanks Kamran Tim Young [Elevate Software] wrote: Kamran, << Could someone kindly clarify how to install and make use of fontawesome icon fonts >> You do realize that EWB 2.x uses Font Awesome for its icon font (EWBIcons), correct ?

This reminds me of my last 2.06B1 installation. In the IDE I only saw a subset of the icons, while at runtime in the browser I saw all icons. Intuitively I (re-)installed the ewbicons.otf font located in "\Program Files (x86)\Elevate Web Builder 2\fonts" and the problem was solved. Michael Dreher |

Uli Becker | > Add, Edit, Delete .....and lastly Prior icon
You can't use icons from the font directly - you have to add what you need to the IconLibrary: What you see there is a collection of icons in the iconlibrary. IconLibrary is an interface file: "TIconLibrary.wbi". In order to cutomize it just copy the original file to your project folder (or any path which is in your search path) and add new icons. When adding new icons you can choose from the shipped set of Font Icons. Have a look here for more details: http://www.elevatesoft.com/forums?action=view&category=ewb&id=ewb_general&page=1&msg=6463#6463 Uli |

Uli Becker | I just see that the quoted link is quite old:
to add/edit a FontIcon there is an Element "FontIcon". Attached you find screenshots to show that. In order to change the color just modify FontIcon | Font | Color Uli Attachments: Clip4.png Clip2.png Clip3.png |

<< Thanks for that Tim , but all I can see in my list when i try to select an icon is: >> That's different - those are the *defined* icons in EWB's Icon Library. In EWB, there's a global icon library that is shipped with EWB, and that's what you're seeing. This topic in the manual discusses the whole concept: http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=ewb2&topic=Icon_Library You specifically want this section: "Defining Icons".
