Change Icon Set

Visual elements of DevExpress Bootstrap controls display icons from icon fonts.The following icon fonts are supported:

  • Embedded
  • FontAwesome ver. 4-5
  • Glyphicons Halflings[1]

You can use CSS to implement custom icons.

Run Demo: Change Icons

You can use the BootstrapConfigurationSection.IconSet property in the /devExpress/bootstrap web.config section to switch icon sets. For example, set the iconSet property to FontAwesome5 to switch to Font Awesome ver.5 icons:

...
<devExpress>
  <bootstrap iconSet="FontAwesome5" />
</devExpress>
...

Note that you should download the Font Awesome icons, add the font and CSS files to your project and link the FontAwesome CSS to your master page:

<head runat="server">
    ...
    <link href="font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    ...
</head>

You can use the same approach to switch to the Glyphicons Halflings icon set.

Footnotes

  1. In Bootstrap v4, the Glyphicons icon font is dropped. For more information, see the following topic: Migrating to v4.
