    @pwsincd are you looking to use the pro version or free ?

    @phenomlab the free version

    @pwsincd Here’s the steps to add

    1. Open the ACP, and go to Appearance -> Custom Header. Within the custom header, we need to add
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.4/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-1ycn6IcaQQ40/MKBW2W4Rhis/DbILU74C1vSrLJxCq57o941Ym01SwNsOMqvEBFlcgUa6xLiPY/NS5R+E6ztJQ==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" />

    It should look like the below. Don’t forget to add the DOCTYPE and <head> values before anything else.

    e4c19939-e079-4507-907b-d6de2e4a6202-image.png

    1. In the same location, we need to add
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.4/js/all.min.js" integrity="sha512-Tn2m0TIpgVyTzzvmxLNuqbSJH3JP8jm+Cy3hvHrW7ndTDcJ1w5mBiksqDBb8GpE2ksktFvDB/ykZ0mDpsZj20w==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>

    You should now have something like the below

    0aa95976-c73d-4737-9cc2-c7eae8ca9c69-image.png

    Ensure that both of the below are on

    beaa416f-fd89-45e2-80b4-ab561443934b-image.png

    Save the changes

    This will now pull the required CSS and JS from the CDN on each page load. When attempting to use the font itself, you will need to identify it with font-family, so for example

    .mytarget {
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
font-weight: 900;
}

    Note that the free version only supports the solid icons, so it’s necessary to set the font-weight attribute.

    If you are looking to replace the existing icons, let me know as this requires additional configuration for it to work properly. This is something I do with a Pro subscription I have that Sudonix is using.

    @phenomlab This is great , i think you included some info i was missing i was almost there … replacing the whole sites fonts would be cool , is that with some kind of shim?

    @pwsincd No, you should be able to override all of them, but likely on a one-by-one basis. You could use the css class of * but this is complete overkill and will impact other fonts on the site as it covers every single class.

    @pwsincd hi. Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?

    @DownPW Looking at the underlying code, class start is being added on hover by jQuery in this function document.querySelectorAll(".button-gradient, .button-transparent").forEach((button) => { const style = getComputedStyle(button); const lines = document.createElement("div"); lines.classList.add("lines"); const groupTop = document.createElement("div"); const groupBottom = document.createElement("div"); const svg = createSVG( button.offsetWidth, button.offsetHeight, parseInt(style.borderRadius, 10) ); groupTop.appendChild(svg); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupTop.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); groupBottom.appendChild(svg.cloneNode(true)); lines.appendChild(groupTop); lines.appendChild(groupBottom); button.appendChild(lines); button.addEventListener("pointerenter", () => { button.classList.add("start"); }); svg.addEventListener("animationend", () => { button.classList.remove("start"); }); }); }) The CSS for start is below .button-gradient.start .lines svg, .button-transparent.start .lines svg { animation: stroke 0.3s linear; } And this is the corresponding keyframe @keyframes stroke { 30%, 55% { opacity: 1; } 100% { stroke-dashoffset: 5; opacity: 0; } } It’s using both CSS and SVG, so might not be a simple affair to replicate without the SVG files.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php
