• Hello. What directory are the icons in that are used for the social media links? I wish to replace them but am unable to locate where they are at in the theme files. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    The theme uses an icon font for social icons, no images.
    More about it https://genericons.com/

    You can choose your own icon font to change the social media icons.

    very interesting! I’ve not seen those before. I see all the icons are the same color – is it possible to edit the colors of them?

    Hi, Very interesting indeed!:) same question, how to change color and size?

    Try:

    .social-block a {
      color: red;
      font-size: 3em;
    }

    font-size is 1.3em by default

    If you want to change individual ones, use:

    .social-icon.icon-google {
     color: #123456
    }

    The list for each is:
    icon-feed
    icon-twitter
    icon-facebook
    icon-google
    icon-instagram
    icon-wordpress
    icon-youtube
    icon-pinterest
    icon-github
    icon-dribbble (3xb’s)
    icon-linkedin

    Thank you @rdellconsulting You helped me out a bunch!

    I had never heard of embedding fonts on webpages, but I can see the advantage.
    I would however like to change the icon font to one that’s a bit more conspicuous. I’ve looked through the information at https://genericons.com/ but I’m not understanding what I need to change in this theme (ie: my child version of Customizr)
    It looks like I need to upload a different font file. Do need both TTF and EOT? What directory do I upload the file to?
    Do I then make changes to the grey.css?

    Thanks.

    janeew could you open a new topic maybe being more specific on what you want to achieve and giving a link to your website if possible? Thanks ??

    It’s currently locally hosted on my computer, hoping to have a Dev up and running soon.

    Here is a screen shot that I threw in to photobucket.

    Ok, add this to your custom css, or child theme style.css:

    footer#footer .colophon .social-block a {
    color: #5a5a5a;
    text-shadow: 0 0px 0 white;
    font-size: 1.1em;
    }

    And change what you want ??

    Hi,

    I want to add a social icon for https://www.xing.com. It′s a very important Social Network for Business Contacts.

    Could you add the xing-logo to your font or is there any way to add it by me?

    I haven′t found another font which includes Xing yet ??

    Lucky for you, Xing is covered in this Snippet
