Hello
I tried a lot, but I can not find a solution by itself.
How do I replace the default menu icons (of jdwonloads) with icons of fontawesome, using the usual class 'fa fa-icon'
Thank you
Hi
This is not an easy change as you have discovered! Fontawesome has 'text characters' but the icons are 'images'. So they are not the same thing and are referenced in a different way.
It is tempting to say why not put them in the text strings that accompany most icons. A challenge here would the language files, and of course the need to change fonts in 'mid stream' so to speak.
We could not make a wholesale change to use fontawesome as not all users would have it, and many might not like those icons! So it would have to be a config matter.
In the short to medium term the only practical but rather tiresome way I can think of would be to make images of those icons you want to change from the fontawesome set and then substitute them in the relevant directories.
EDIT: Just thought a bit further. If you switch to using the CSS based icons for "hot", "new" and so on then I believe it would be possible to modify the relevant css for these to use fontawesome characters. This css could be put in jdownloads_custom.css
Whilst not a complete solution for the other icons it is a possible starting point.
