Hey tshenry. I saw this theme component, but its display all across the forum (and just in the sub-categories), I just want to show it in the category block/list in the Categories page. The only option that Discourse has its to put a .png image.

```
.navigation-categories .category-text-title .category-name{
position: relative;
&:before{
    position: relative;
    font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro";
    content: "\f054";
    font-weight: 900;
}

```

This is what I’m trying, but with Font awesome icons.

Same request:

> [@Category Icons](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-icons-component/104683/23):
>
> Another request would be having the icon next to the category name on the category page if it’s not a subcategory:
