Okay - way too many hours into this.
When using protostar I get the default icons - such as the "eye" for required fields. I can change that icon on a field by field basis by changing the text in the validation icon field and the names "roughly" correspond to the J3.x standard icons (not all work).
https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Joomla_Standard_Icomoon_Fonts
-> I don't really like the eye and would like to globally change it, but it appears I have to change each element. SOMEWHERE, SOMEBODY is telling it to use the eye - any pointers?
It gets worse.
But - I don't want to use protostar - I want to use another template (wright for example) when I display in that template, _some_ of my icons go way. Wright uses font-awsome
When I use wright:
- Validation: the "eye" disappears. I can recover it by editing the icon field to explicitly say "eye" (or a few others). But again - I don't want to have to manually edit every validated field.
- The "delete" icon in list displays goes away.
I've see a few posts about how to add the joomla icon set to another template - but they are too terse. They say add icomoon.css to my template (where! - I put it in templates/js_wright/css), I've done so - but no joy.
So, two problems
-> how can I get the 'default' icons back for template that uses something like fontawsome
-> How can I change the default icon for validation
Note: I do know how to control the icon's size and color in custom_css.php
I'd like to document this in the wiki - if I can figure out how.
