    to avoid icon overrides by other icon font system (such as Font Awesome)

    Hi,

    I understand but because of this I have to override the icons myself every time I want to use those classes somewhere else, with another !important rule creating a lot of messy code.

    Would you consider refactoring the code in a future version and removing the !important rule?

    thanks!

    the whole point of having this is to have the !important rule.. otherwise it would be unneffective.

    in your case, I recommend you simply go and delete those two CSS rules.

    Hi Germinal,

    I could do that, but I will have to do it every time I'll update the component resulting in wasted time.

    You could use different classes for example for your icons, assuming this is for what you use the !important declaration.

    thanks!
