A user, Don, shares a hack to customize the offline indicator in Discourse by modifying its template to include icons. Initially, the hack combined two separate icons (wifi and slash), but Don later updated it to use a single Google Material Wifi Off icon via the Discourse SVG and emoji CSS helper, avoiding the need to merge icons. The changes are available in a GitHub repository: discourse-offline-indicator-hack. Lilly praises the approach, calling it a “cool trick.”
