[FEATURE] Replace font-awesome icons in waybar with SVG icons #29

Open mylinuxforwork opened 4 months ago

mylinuxforwork commented 4 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The installation of additional ttf results in negative side effects on icons in waybar. That's why the icons should be replaced with svgs. https://github.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/issues/25

Describe the solution you'd like Create an icons folder in waybar/themes/assets with subfolders for icon themes, e.g., material https://fonts.google.com/icons Then replace all icons with a white and dark version that fits to the corresponding waybar theme.

Additional context https://fonts.google.com/icons

For me, with a clean install of ML4W setup (force reinstall) fontawesome was not detected for some icons in waybar, I manage to fix it by adding font-family: "Fira Sans Semibold", FontAwesome, "Font Awesome 6 Free", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; in ~/dotfiles/waybar/themes/ml4w/style.css

Maybe it is a quick fix before switching to svg icons
