Font awesome x-twitter icon

Backlight 4 & 5 Support
#1

Apologies if this has been discussed previously but I didn’t find anything about it here. Is there a way to change the font awesome icon for Twitter to the X logo?

Thanks a lot.

The Font Awesome X twitter icon is part of Font Awesome 6, but Backlight Pangolin currently includes Font Awesome 5.

You’d need to download Font Awesome 6 free version, upload to your site, and add it to your site via custom css. (Or reference it from the Font Awesome servers by including the link to it in the head section via phplugins.)

Then replace the current twitter icon’s unicode with custom css.

I don’t know if there are plans to update the Pangolin modules with Font Awesome 6.
