Unable to adjust the size of the icons sourced from https://github.com/erikflowers/weather-icons

While integrating openweathermap with these icons, I encountered an issue where I couldn't adjust the size of the icons. They are used similarly to font-awesome icons, like this: 

<i class="wi wi-omw-100"></i>

I have tried changing various attributes to make them larger, but unlike font-awesome icons, it didn't work. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any specific information about this in the documentation.

I consider myself a beginner in CSS and would appreciate any guidance on how to resize these icons.

Answer №1

While it's been a month since this was first posted, I wanted to share my approach:

After exploring various options, I stumbled upon a solution targeting elements with the <i> tag.

Using wildcards in CSS for classes

Admittedly, this may not be the most efficient method and documentation is scarce.

In the end, I resorted to adding this override in a CSS file:

i[class^="wi-"], i[class*=" wi-"] {
    font-size: 200px;
}

Although not perfect, this workaround served its purpose for me on a specific page. If I discover a better alternative, I will update here. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to delve into the original CSS file for a more targeted sizing class.

I hope this information proves helpful to someone else.
