I have some font awesome icons that I want to change to a different color but for some reason it will not work. Here's my html and css:
HTML
<span><i class="fas fa-globe fa-5x change-color"></i></span>
CSS
.change-color {
color: #3993e5 !important;
}
I fixed it.
I just had to wrap the icon with a div
<span><div><i class="fas fa-globe fa-5x change-color"></i></div></span>
Will if you using the js file from FontAwosem you should know that this I HTML tag will be removed and replaced with SVG tag so all you need to do is say something like that in your CSS file
svg {
color: white;
}
Be sure that your icon font-family is Font-awesome.
.change-color {
font-family:FontAwesome;
color:red;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<a class="btn-cta-freequote" href="#">Get a FREE Quote <i class="fas fa-globe fa-5x change-color"></i></a>
How do I add a custom "prefix" to the i tag so that this i tag is not applied to all elements in the html?
My CSS:
i {
color: red;
}
My HTML contains:
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x"></i>
The red color must only be applied to that html fragment.
This is possibly a duplicate but I wasn't able to find the information I need.
If you have a single i that you want to refrence, you can use an id:
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x" id="mytag"></i>
<!--CSS->
#mytag or i#mytag for more specificity {
//styles
}
or add a new class to your i (separated by a space):
<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x myclass"></i>
<!--CSS->
.myclass or i.myclass for more specificity {
//styles
}
I import fontawesome icons.
<script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/e5d9dacb14.js"></script>
Next, I have a hyperlink:
<i class="fa fa-user-o" ></i> Personal Page
This hyperlink has the annoying underline, which I try to remove by following this answer.
To do so, I add this to my css.
a.nounderline {text-decoration: none; }
And I change the hyperlink to:
<a.nounderline href="https://google.nl"> <i class="fa fa-user-o" ></i> Personal Page </a.>
Now. This does remove the underline, but it also removed the hyperlink. See my jsfiddle
If you want to add class to your tag, add it by class="nounderline"
a.nounderline {
text-decoration: none;
}
<a class="nounderline" href="https://google.nl"> <i class="fa fa-user-o"></i> Personal Page </a>
Read more about html classes and .class selector
a.noundeline represents an a that has nounderline for class.
So you have to create a <a class="nounderline"> tag to make it work.
Please see below. You need to define .nounderline as a class in CSS.
.nounderline {
text-decoration: none;
}
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<a class="nounderline" href="https://google.nl"> <i class="fa fa-user-o"></i> Personal Page </a.>
You can Use text-decoration: none; css style for Anchor tag. like below
a.nounderline {text-decoration: none; }
you have attached class name with HTML<a> tag that is wrong.
what you need to do is just add class property to your<a>tag like this:
<a class="nounderline"></a>
<a class="nounderline" href="https://google.nl"> <i class="fa fa-user-o" ></i> Personal Page </a>
What worked for me was this:
a, nameofdiv{
color:black;
text-decoration: none;
}
Hope this helps
I have trawled the internet looking for a fix and i still cannot get padding to work on my FA Icons in a wordpress theme.
Caution, I am novice:
So, the icons are social media icons, using FA, and they are placed in a widget in the footer of the site.
I think i have assigned a class to the icons "social" but I have placed:
.social {
padding-left:20px;
}
In all style.css or custom.css or theme related .css's I can find and the icons still only have around 3px of padding, widget code is as follows:
<p>
<a target="_blank" href="link"><i class="fa fa-twitter-square fa-4x" class="social"></i></a>
<a target="_blank" href="link"><i class="fa fa-facebook-square fa-4x" class="social"></i></a>
<a target="_blank" href="link"><i class="fa fa-instagram fa-4x" class="social"></i></a>
<a target="_blank" href="link"><i class="fa fa-pinterest-square fa-4x" class="social"></i></a>
</p>
I'm sure I am missing something simple?
Regards,
Thomas
Add the social class to the same attribute:
<i class="fa fa-pinterest-square fa-4x social"></i>
Change the css property to:
.social {
padding-left:20px !important;
}
Please note that the css properties are assigned in the order they were defined in the css files. You must be sure that the .social is the last defined, in order to assign the padding-left you need.
I have to wrap my icon within an <a> tag for some reason.
Is there any possible way to change the color of a font-awesome icon to black?
or is it impossible as long as it wrapped within an <a> tag? Font awesome is supposed to be font not image, right?
<i class="icon-cog"></i> Edit profile
This worked for me:
.icon-cog {
color: black;
}
For versions of Font Awesome above 4.7.0, it looks this:
.fa-cog {
color: black;
}
HTML:
<i class="icon-cog blackiconcolor">
css :
.blackiconcolor {color:black;}
you can also add extra class to the button icon...
You can specify the color in the style attribute:
<i class="icon-cog" style="color:black"></i> Edit profile
Try this:
<i class="icon-cog text-red">
<i class="icon-cog text-blue">
<i class="icon-cog text-yellow">
To change the font awesome icons color for your entire project use this in your css
.fa {
color : red;
}
If you don't want to alter the CSS file, this is what works for me. In HTML, add style with color:
<i class="fa fa-cog" style="color:#fff;"></i>
Is there any possible way to change the color of a font-awesome icon to
black?
Yes, there is. See the snipped bellow
<!-- Assuming that you don't have, this needs to be in your HTML file (usually the header) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<!-- Here is what you need to use -->
Edit Profile
Font awesome is supposed to be font not image, right?
Yes, it is a font. Therefore, you are able to scale it to any size without losing quality.
To hit only cog-icons in that kind of button, you can give the button a class, and set the color for the icon only when inside the button.
HTML:
<a class="my-nice-button" href="/users/edit">
<i class="icon-cog"></i>
Edit profile
</a>
CSS:
.my-nice-button>i { color: black; }
This will make any icon that is a direct descendant of your button black.
With reference to #ClarkeyBoy answer, below code works fine, if using latest version of Font-Awesome icons or if you using fa classes
.fa.icon-white {
color: white;
}
And, then add icon-white to existing class
For me the only thing that worked is inline css + overriding
<i class="fas fa-ellipsis-v fa-2x" style="color:red !important"></i>
just give and text style whatever you want like :D
HTML:
<a href="javascript:;" class="fa fa-trash" style="color:#d9534f;">
<span style="color:black;">Text Name</span>
</a>
.fa-search{
color:#fff;
}
you write that code in css and it would change the color to white or any color you want, you specify it
You can change the Font Awesome's icon color with the bootstrap class
use
text-color
example
text-white
Sometimes changing the colour in the external css file doesn't work. You can add inline css property in the icon tag and that will work.
For example
<i class="fa-solid fa-keyboard" style="color: grey;"></i>
just give it the style whatever you want like
style="color: white;font-size: 20px;"
You can change the color of a fontawesome icon by changing its foreground color using the css color property. The following are examples:
<i class="fa fa-cog" style="color:white">
This supports svgs also
<style>
.fa-cog{
color:white;
}
</style>
<style>
.parent svg, .parent i{
color:white
}
</style>
<div class="parent">
<i class="fa fa-cog" style="color:white">
</div>
Write this code in the same line, this change the icon color:
<li class="fa fa-id-card-o" style="color:white" aria-hidden="true">
Use color property to change the color of your target element as follow :
.icon-cog { // selector of your element
color: black;
}
Or in the newest version of font-awesome , you can choose among filled or not filled icons
If you want to change the color of a specific icon, you can use something like this:
.fa-stop {
color:red;
}
It might a little bit tricky to change the color of font-awesome icons. The simpler method is to add your own class name inside the font-awesome defined classes like this:
.
And target your custom_defined__class_name in your CSS to change the color to whatever you like.
Open the svg file in vs code or something
change the line
path fill="gray" to what ever color you want! in my case i change it to gray!
I added a style, then color of your choice and make sure to make it bold
HTML:
<i class="icon-cog blackiconcolor">
css :
.blackiconcolor {color:black;}
Using class will give you a free binding property which you can apply on any tag you require.
