How to change the global node icon in Nova?

[Alpha1]

Is there a setting somewhere, like you added for the light switch? If not then please consider it.
Or do I have to do it in extra.less somehow?

I have read these instructions for different node icons for each node:

Custom node icons

Set custom icons

pixelexit.com

I do not want to have different node icons for each node, but want to globally replace the default icons.

I suppose it would be nice top change those....

Style properties -> Node/forum list -> Read/unread node icon. the default set to comments. You can use any icon you want, just don't use the fa- prefix on it.

That's actually easy enough. Thanks!

How can I also change the subforum node icon?
Unread subforums do not display a node icon. How can I add this?

Something like this in extra.less should change the icons:

.node-subNodeFlatList .subNodeLink.subNodeLink--forum:before  { .m-faContent("\f27a "); }
.node-subNodeFlatList .subNodeLink.subNodeLink--forum.subNodeLink--unread:before  { .m-faContent("\f4a3"); }

Thanks! This looks great.

Is there any way to change the FA icons for XFRM latest resources widget and the sidebar statistics widget?

Something like this in extra.less should change the icons:

.node-subNodeFlatList .subNodeLink.subNodeLink--forum:before  { .m-faContent("\f27a "); }
.node-subNodeFlatList .subNodeLink.subNodeLink--forum.subNodeLink--unread:before  { .m-faContent("\f4a3"); }

If I do this in XF2.2 then I get double icons. Default icon + custom icon.

They've added in the <i> class into the code now. You'll need to use this CSS isntead:

.node-subNodeFlatList .subNodeLink.subNodeLink--forum i:before  { .m-faContent("\f27a "); }
.node-subNodeFlatList .subNodeLink.subNodeLink--forum.subNodeLink--unread i:before  { .m-faContent("\f4a3"); }
