deprecated icon codes used through-out the code #264

Closed Jay-o-Way closed 1 year ago

Jay-o-Way commented 1 year ago

Microsoft had deemed a range of icon codes (E0 - E5) as deprecated and should not be used any more. There are replacement code points for them in a higher range. For example: E115 ("Setting", cog-wheel) should be replaced by E713.

@JohnnyWestlake and why not?

I have no qualms if someone else wants to go ahead and address this, however as the deprecation was done as a safety net for scenarios that will not be encountered in this app and my time to work on this is fairly limited, I probably won't tackle it myself.
