At first, this question shouldn't be that hard, but I don't know how to solve it.
I'm experimenting with Font-Awesome and everything works fine, except that it won't display just one icon.
Inside the Hml-Editor (Atom):
<body>
<div class="list">
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-home"</i><span>test</span>
</div><!--list-->
</body>
Inside the Browser:
<body>
<div class="list">
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-home" <="" i=""><span>test</span></i><i class="fa fa-fw fa-home" <="" i="">
</i></div><!--list--><i class="fa fa-fw fa-home" <="" i="">
</i>
</body>
Why's there more code in the Browser?
the code is saved with the Atom-Editor and this appears also in a freshly opened Chrome-window (same with Firefox)
Is this even a Browser problem?
After all this seems awkward but thanks for your help.
Your HTML is invalid, the opening i element never gets closed.
Try this:
<body>
<div class="list">
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-home"></i><span>test</span>
</div><!--list-->
</body>
Consider installing htmlhint to get notified about invalid HTML.
I am displaying font awesome icons in row. when I click an icon it takes an action. and also I was trying to seelct an icon then it should show the option,when I click the option it should take an action.
Here is my code.
<div class="iconsInfo">
<div>
<div ng-if="isReply()" ng-click="replyMessage()" class="iconRow" title="Reply">
<i class="fa fa-reply"></i>
</div>
<div ng-if="isReplyAll()"ng-click="replyAll()" class="iconRow" title="Reply All">
<i class="fa fa-reply-all"></i>
</div>
<div ng-if="isForward()" ng-click="forwardMessage()" class="iconRow" title="Forward">
<i class="fa fa-reply fa-flip-horizontal"></i>
</div>
<div ng-if="!isDeleted()" ng-click="deleteMessage()" class="iconRow" title="Delete Message">
<i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
</div>
<div ng-show="canMoveToFolder()" class="iconRow">
<i class="fa fa-folder-o"> </i>
</div>
Here when I click on reply icon it calls replyMessage .when I click on folder icon it should show the options like sentToFolder1,sentToFolder2,when I click senttoFolder1 it calls an action. how to achieve this using fontawesome icons.
Using a button over a div would be a solution:
<button ng-if="isReply()" ng-click="replyMessage()" class="iconRow" title="Reply">
<i class="fa fa-reply"></i>
</button>
You may need to change your iconRow class a bit, depending on what it is. Based on the name, I imagine perhaps the wrapper would be a good place for the iconRow styling.
I'm trying out the FontAwesome icon inside p:commandButton and p:menuitem.
I'm able to display the icons, however compared to the built-in mobile icons, the FontAwesome icons seem too small. It looks inconsistent if you have other PF components using themeroller icons.
Is there a way to increase size of the FontAwesome icons?
and I have also try in style to increase font-size and fa-lg, fa-2x, fa-3x, fa-4x, or fa-5x classes but doesn't work.
<p:commandButton icon="ui-icon-mobile-phone" id="sendSMSBtn"
styleClass="btn btn-info btn-lg" onclick="modalDialog.show()"
oncomplete="modalDialog.hide();"
action="#{myBean.getMobileNo()}"
update=":frm:messages" style="font-size:30px">
Generated HTML :
<button type="submit" title="Send Bulk SMS" onclick="modalDialog.show();PrimeFaces.ab({source:'frm:dataTable:sendSMSBtn',update:'frmMassSMS frm:messages',oncomplete:function(xhr,status,args){modalDialog.hide();;}});return false;" class="ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-button-icon-only btn btn-info btn-lg fa-fw" name="frm:dataTable:sendSMSBtn" id="frm:dataTable:sendSMSBtn" role="button" aria-disabled="false"><span class="ui-button-icon-left ui-icon ui-c ui-icon-mobile-phone"></span><span class="ui-button-text ui-c">ui-button</span></button>
You can use fa-2x, fa-3x,... only if not use value component into <p:commandButton>. Just put into styleClass whatever you want to describe this button.
<p:commandButton styleClass="fa fa-pencil fa-2x btn btn-lg btn-success someclass" process="staffTable" update=":MStaffUpdateForm:staffUpdate" oncomplete="PF('staffUpdateDialog').show()" />
Then, your XHTML generate code:
<span class="ui-button-text ui-c">ui-button</span>
image:
Then, just make up your javascript like that:
<script>
$(function() {
$('.someclass').text("");
}
</script>
Result with normal-size:
Result with fa-2x:
Overriding width and font-size properties of "ui-icon" CSS works for me:
.button {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
}
.ui-icon {
width: 24px !important;
font-size: 24px !important;
}
Example button:
<p:commandButton image="fa fa-download" value="Test" styleClass="button"/>
Yes you can!
But if you want use the FA you should add a reference of library. I had the same problem and I did that:
<!-- CSS With Font-Awesome.jar -->
<link href="/webjars/font-awesome/4.6.3/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
Some code:
<td >
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro"></i> fa-camera-retro
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-lg"></i> fa-lg
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x"></i> fa-2x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-3x"></i> fa-3x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-4x"></i> fa-4x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-5x"></i> fa-5x
</td>
You should add too at web.xml that fragment:
<context-param>
<param-name>primefaces.FONT_AWESOME</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
Good luck!
I'm trying desperately to get my magnifying glass font to render it larger. The code below works fine in firefox but not in Chrome or IE9.
What am I missing?
.icon-larger
{
font-size:50px;
}
<div class="search-icon"><i class="icon-search icon-larger"></i></div>
thanks!
Take a look at this page and see the examples that scale icons size.
You can scale up to 5 times it's size.
Example:
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-lg"></i> fa-lg
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x"></i> fa-2x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-3x"></i> fa-3x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-4x"></i> fa-4x
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-5x"></i> fa-5x
The Font Awesome icon is hooked to the :after pseudo element, so your CSS would need to be
.icon-larger:before
{
font-size: 50px;
}
I have created a reference page of all the CSS content values for Font Awesome, along with a CSS snippet which shows how to use the icons with any element: http://astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome/
Add display:block or display:inline-block
Old question but I had the same issue and it appeared I forgot to include the Font Awesome css e.g: <link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.2.1/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
You will still see the icon, but it will not scale when this is missing.
How could I style the color, size and shadow of icons from FontAwesome's Icons?
For example, FontAwesome's site will show some icons in white and some in red but won't show the CSS for how to style them that way ...
Given that they're simply fonts, then you should be able to style them as fonts:
#elementID {
color: #fff;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #ccc;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
You can also just add style inline:
<i class="icon-ok-sign" style="color:green"></i>
<i class="icon-warning-sign" style="color:red"></i>
If you are using Bootstrap at the same time, you can use:
<i class="fa fa-check-circle-o fa-5x text-success" ></i>
Otherwise:
<i class="fa fa-check-circle-o fa-5x" style="color:green"></i>
Looks like the FontAwesome icon color responds to text-info, text-error, etc.
<div style="font-size: 44px;">
<i class="icon-umbrella icon-large text-error"></i>
</div>
inyour.css file:
*.icon-white {color: white}
*.icon-silver {color: silver}
inyour.html file:
<a><i class="icon-book icon-white"></i> Book</a>
<a><i class="icon-ok-sign icon-silver"></i> OK</a>
For Size: fa-lg, fa-2x, fa-3x, fa-4x, fa-5x
For Color: <i class="fa fa-link fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"style="color:indianred"></i>
For Shadow: .fa-linkedin-square{text-shadow: 3px 6px #272634;}
There is a really simple way to change the colour of Font Awesome icons.
<!-- Font Awesome insert code -->
<script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/49b98aaeb5.js"></script>
<!-- End -->
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up fa-5x" aria-hidden="true" style="color:#00cc6a"></i>
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up fa-4x" aria-hidden="true" style="color:#00cc6a"></i>
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up fa-3x" aria-hidden="true" style="color:#00cc6a"></i>
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up fa-2x" aria-hidden="true" style="color:#00cc6a"></i>
<i class="fa fa-thumbs-up" aria-hidden="true" style="color:#00cc6a"></i>
You can change the hex code to your preference.
NOTE: The text colour will change the icon colour as well unless there is a style="color:#00cc6a" within the i tag.
Using FA 4.4.0 adding
.text-danger
color: #d9534f
to the document css and then using
<i class="fa fa-ban text-danger"></i>
changes the color to red. You can set your own for any color.
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/examples/
<i class="icon-thumbs-up icon-3x main-color"></i>
Here I have defined a global style in my CSS where main-color is a class, in my case it is a light blue hue. I find that using inline styles on Icons with Font Awesome works well, esp in the case when you name your colors semantically, i.e. nav-color if you want a separate color for that, etc.
In this example on their website, and how I have written in my example as well, the newest version of Font Awesome has changed the syntax slightly of adjusting the size.Before it used to be:
icon-xxlarge
where now I have to use:
icon-3x
Of course, this all depends on what version of Font Awesome you have installed on your environment. Hope this helps.
Just target font-awesome predefined class name
in ex:
HTML
<i class="fa fa-facebook"></i>
CSS
i.fa {
color: red;
font-size: 30px;
}
In FontAwesome 4.0, the classes change to 'fa-2x', 'fa-3x'.
Simply you can define a class in your css file and cascade it into html file like
<i class="fa fa-plus fa-lg green"></i>
now write down in css
.green{ color:green}
Please refer to the link
http://www.w3schools.com/icons/fontawesome_icons_intro.asp
<i class="fa fa-car"></i>
<i class="fa fa-car" style="font-size:48px;"></i>
<i class="fa fa-car" style="font-size:60px;color:red;"></i>
<i class="fa fa-car fa-lg"></i>
<i class="fa fa-car fa-2x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-car fa-3x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-car fa-4x"></i>
<i class="fa fa-car fa-5x"></i>
I had the same problem when I tried to use the icons directly from BootstrapCDN (the easiest way). Then I downloaded the CSS file and copied it to my site's CSS folder the CSS file (Described under the 'easy way' in font awesome documentation), and everything started working as they should.
Credit: Can I change the color of Font Awesome's icon color?
(this answer builds on that answer)
(for the bookmark icon, for example:)
inyour.css file:
.icon-bookmark.icon-white {
color: white;
}
inyour.html file:
<div class="icon-bookmark icon-white"></div>
Wrap the i tag in p or span, then you can use bootstrap css class
<p class="text-success"><i class="fa fa-check"></i></p>
For Font Awesome 5 SVG version, use
filter: drop-shadow(0 0 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.7));
As it has been pointed out, font awesome icons are text, consequently you style it using the appropriate CSS attributes. For example:
.fa-twitter-square {
font-size: 15px;
color: red;
}
If, as it happens quite a bit to me, the icon size doesn't change at all, add "!important" to the font-size attribute.
.fa-twitter-square {
font-size: 15px !important;
color: red;
}
For Sizing Icons
Both our Web Fonts + CSS and SVG + JS frameworks include some basic controls for sizing icons in the context of your page’s UI.
you can use like
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-xs"></i>
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-sm"></i>
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-lg"></i>
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-2x"></i>
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-3x"></i>
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-5x"></i>
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-7x"></i>
<i class="fas fa-camera fa-10x"></i>
https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/styling/sizing-icons
Dynamically change the css properties of .fa-xxx icons:
<li class="nws">
<a href="#NewsModal" class="urgent" title="' + title + '" onclick=""><span class="label label-icon label-danger"><i class="fa fa-bolt"></i></span>'
</a>
</li>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('li.nws').on("focusin", function(){
$('.fa-bolt').addClass('lightning');
});
});
</script>
<style>
.lightning{ /*do something cool like shutter*/}
</style>
text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
Try to simply use something like fa-lg,fa-2x,fa-3x,fa-4x,fa-5x to increase the icon size relative to their container
for eg:-
I would not advice you to use built in font-awesome styling like the fa-5x etc; for fear they may change it and you would have to keep chainging your application code to meet up with the latest standard. You simply avoid this by giving each font-awesome class you want to style uniformly the same class say:
<i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-sabi-social-icons" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<i class="fa fa-twitter-square fa-sabi-social-icons" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<i class="fa fa-google-plus-square fa-sabi-social-icons" aria-hidden="true"></i>
Here the class is fa-sabi-social-icons
Then in your css you can the style the fonts using the same css rules you would style a normal font with.
e.g
.fa-sabi-social-icons {
color: //your color;
font-size: // your font-size in px, em or %;
text-shadow: 2px 2px #FF0000;
}
That should get your font-awesome fonts styled
Here is an example how to styling font-awesome:
.arrow i.fa {
color: white !important;
font-size: 2.2rem;
opacity: .3;
}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<div class="arrow d-none d-md-block">
<i class="fa fa-angle-down"></i>
</div>
That's it.
