[Resolved] More icons for GB ?

[David]

Hi everyone,
Firstly congratulations on the release of GB 1.0 – very excited to start some real work on clients sites.

One question – I see the range of icons in the General and Social is a little limited.
Can other libraries be added ?
I see in the video when one is selected <svg code appears – can this be done manually from a library from somewhere ?

And I appreciate I need to get up to speed on SVG images – on my radar to learn more about how it works!

Cheers, Dave

Hi there,

in the Free version you can add your own inline SVGs in the field provided.
Edit your SVGs in a text editor or use this site:

Copy the <svg> markup and paste it into the icon field in the GB Block.

There are plans to expand the icons function in the future Pro version.

Thanks David,
I have since found that the IcoMoon library works well.

2nd follow up…
You can also download the free Font Awesome icons for web here:
https://fontawesome.com/download

You either need an association to view them on your computer (e.g. Irfan View on WIndows)
Or view them on their website to find the name.

HTH, Dave

Yeah both good resources – thanks for sharing.
Also the noun project is good if you’re after something different:

Thanks David,

I’m embarrassed to say I think I purchased the Noun Project ages ago and have never used it 🙂
Thanks for the reminder!

Cheers, Dave
