This is wonderful, thank you! How do you set which style of an icon to choose? For example, the Font Awesome icon “copyright” has a solid and regular form. I’d like to use the solid one. What do I do if an icon doesn’t show up? Right now everything works except for “cuttlefish”, for example. I accidentally hit the reset button multiple times. Is there a way for us to save our settings so that if I accidentally hit reset, I don’t lose all those settings?

For most icons, you can use the far- prefix to pick the regular icon. By default, without a prefix, the icon style used will be solid. However, the copyright icon is a bit of an exception, because the old FA4 icon has been renamed to the FA5 regular version, and we have a mapping in core that essentially forces both copyright and far-copyright to use the regular style. I think we can soon fix this, you’ll soon be able to correctly use the solid style for the copyright icon. For “cuttlefish”, did you try adding “fab-cuttlefish”? This is a brand icon, hence the fab- prefix. Make sure you add this to both setting fields.

Thanks, @pmusaraj, this worked perfectly. [image] debryc: I accidentally hit the reset button multiple times.
