Iconic font in widget.

[Jonny Wester]

Hi I am trying to appy iconic font to my clock widget. I get configuration error. Can it be a missing library import and in that case which?

Thankful for a hint

If you get a configuration error, there will be a message in your log file. Can you paste the here please.

Also, please share the line from your config where you create the clock widget.

Hi and thanks for answer!

````

widget.Textbox(
                text = '{}',
                background = "#585858",
                font = "FontAwesome",
                fontsize = 11,
                padding = 0,
),

````

This was the only thing I could find in qtile.log related to this.

That's not the clock widget but it should be widget.TextBox (capital B)

Well, no you are right!

I do not know how else to do if I want a clock icon in front of clock widget.

Thanks for your good eyes!

I don't know if I'm too late.
But you don't have to make a TextBox widget to put an icon into Clock.
Just
widget.Clock(format="<your icon here><whatever clock format you use>")
:)

I thank you for answer! It's never too late! I went with textBox but your solution is better. I will fiddle a bit with it!

Thanks again!
