« on: October 10, 2025, 09:41:36 PM »
Hello.
In section of creating category in bottom of form there is  input boxes one is color for input hexadecimal css for color.

But i do noy know what text must insert in (icon input box).

Please with one or more example show me what i can insert in this input box.

Thanks.

***********************************
solution added in 20251016:

Default them of Osclass 8 is sigma.

In this theme have bee used Fontawesome 5.14. therefor we only use free version of 5.14 or other 5 version therefor we can not use 7 version.

But what we can insert in (icon input box)

Only full class name of free icons of version of 5 of fontawsome

https://fontawesome.com/v5/icons#packs

for example:

https://fontawesome.com/v5/icons?t=categories

https://fontawesome.com/v5/icons/socks?f=classic&s=solid

<i class="fas fa-socks"></i>

only insert in (icon input box) the following text in () without ():
(fas fa-socks)

Thanks for response.

You learned me to change color of icons by putting #001122 in (color input box).

I want to know what must put in (icon input box) for changing shape of icon?

If we must type name of fontawesome  icon name please say my or show a link to show how to use font awesome in sigma theme?

Please help me and help other people who do not know what must add icons.

Sigma itself does not use icons, it's here for further development and future compatibility.
Themes usually use own system to load icons & colors now.
If you want to use it on Sigma, you must implement it.
Form of icon is free - depends on your usage. Can be font awesome clsss, font awesome HTML element but also image link or blob.
