hello everybody,

happy wednesday.

many of my customers have said that the little house icon (that takes them back home) is way to small and way to faint to catch their eye. has anyone figured out a way to change this? i’d like to make it larger and easier to see.

thanks

Hi ​@LisaRollins 

 

See below the CSS that is needed to increase the size of the icon.
.header--student .header__left__icon {  font-size: 10px;}

 

Best regards

Jon

I just wanted to agree that it is way too small and way too light in color to be clear to users. 

I have not found a way to adjust that though and would love to hear if anyone has.

Hi ​@oscar_a_wiggy and ​@LisaRollins 

This is targetable via CSS, please see below the code that is required to modify this icon with an Image. Please add the URL for the image you want to display where I have noted in Green.

 

.header--student .header__left__icon {

background-image:url("logourlgoes here") !important;

background-repeat: no-repeat !important;

background-size: contain !important;

background-position: 50% 50% !important;

background-color: #0990D0;

width:250px;

margin-left: 15px;

margin-top: 10px;

}

.header--student .header__left__icon:hover{ background-color:transparent;

}

.header--student .header__left__icon i{ display:none;

}

.header--student .header__right .company-logo__container img{ display:none;

}

See below a screenshot of what this lools like in the Site > Site builder settings
 

If you have any questions please let me know.

 

Kind regards

Jon

Hi ​@LisaRollins 

I had a look at the code and it seems to be an object called .icon-Home, I don’t know how to change the size from 16X16 but I have asked my design team and will let you know when I hear back from them.

@oscar_a_wiggy I got this and it works on all devices.

.header--student .header__left__icon {
font-size: 22px; /* changed to 20px */
position: relative; /* needed for absolute positioning of the text */
margin-bottom: 2px;
}

.header--student .header__left__icon::after {
content: "Return"; /* this adds the word */
display: block;
font-size: 16px; /* you can adjust this */
text-align: center;
margin-top: 2px; /* space between icon and text */
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
