Adding phone icon?
commadelimited opened this issue · 8 comments
I'm implementing this theme for a client and he has a "call now" button on one of the pages. There's no corresponding telephone icon for that in the Flat UI icon set. Any chance of getting that added?
Hello ! nice idea for sure !
Actually we could add icons based on the native icons of mobiles, and there are many that prove themselves very useful !
I work on android and I could add some icons to this theme.
I think we are open for adding support for additional font icons but we would have to find an easy way to do it. Ideally it would be great to add support for any icon from http://fontello.com What do you guys think?
Is that what you're using to generate the TTF file? Is there a way to add icons to a font, then save that build? Then users could generate the base font, but add their own on the fly.
No this is not currently used but it would be great to replace the current setup with this kind of automated build. I will look into that maybe this evening.
Oh great tool fontello !
I think there should be a starter pack of icons and the possibility to build a add-on, I don't know, maybe the starter is irrelevant if the build is easy to use !
The main problem is that the theme explicitly defines the available icons in the CSS file. If the user is responsible for building the whole thing then the theme becomes less usable straight out of the box. Perhaps something like my project http://jqmiconpack.andymatthews.net/#/ might be effective? This actually generates a CSS file with jQuery Mobile hooks already set up. Then you just include the font and the CSS. This could work really well in tandem with this theme.
Thoughts?
Yes you're right, that's why I thought that it could be some kind of add-on.
The initial project comes with the original CSS and the icons bundled and then user could build a specific css / images pack.
Great tool by the way !
@commadelimited, @aboudard apology for not getting back sooner. @commadelimited I like http://jqmiconpack.andymatthews.net/#/ and I will try to follow a similar path. It looks like fontello has an api we could use. I would like to integrate it into a build process to make everything dynamic / configurable. I'm in the process of creating a grunt task for fontello api. I think the next step will be to add the jqm css hooks like you've mentioned @commadelimited. I will get back to you guys here when it's done.
