Hello Cor Thanks for the input, I can definitely agree that having a wider icon set available in the default skin would make things easier and also contribute to a more consistent look and feel for the users.
While replacing the current icons in Larry with font icons is probably out of scope, we could indeed just add the fontawesome set to the skin as a start. Font-based icons will definitely be used in the new responsive skin which I now started to work on in my spare time. That shall become the successor for Larry and the new default skin. Therefore I'm looking forward to make things right there but keep the efforts on Larry to a minimum. Of course, we're open to volunteers who want to give Larry a fresh paint with font icons. ~Thomas On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 11:08 AM, Cor Bosman <[email protected]> wrote: > Absolutely.
