I am currently utilizing the bootstrap-select library for a search UI project. Everything is functioning properly, and I appreciate the extensive options that the library offers. However, I would like to customize the default dropdown icon with my own Font Awesome icon so that I have more control over the styling of the icon. I attempted their recommended method for changing the icon, but it did not work as expected. What could I be doing wrong here?
Default Icon https://i.sstatic.net/hx5sy.png
Desired Icon https://i.sstatic.net/VuyBO.png
Below is the function I tried to change the icon:
$('.selectpicker').selectpicker({
iconBase: 'fa',
tickIcon: 'fa-chevron-down',
});
Is there an alternative approach using CSS? If there's a different function available that works better than the one above, I would appreciate suggestions.
Here is a glimpse at my current progress:
.dnow-searchWizard-wrap .dropdown.bootstrap-select button.btn-light {
background-color: #fff;
padding: 1rem;
}
.dnow-searchWizard-wrap .btn-primary {
padding: 1rem;
