CSS UPDATES/CUSTOM THEMES
As part of the FontAwesome 5 update, some updates have been made to the base CSS theme templates included with CMSB.
If you use a custom CSS theme that is based on these theme templates, it will likely need to be updated.
Please compare to the new versions to match these changes if necessary. The specific changes are:
- The selector ".dragger, .label" (original line 17) has been changed to ".label"
- The block "ul.main-navigation-menu > li > ul > li.current > a:after { ... }" (original lines 64-71) has been fully reworked.
To see the differences compare /3rdParty/clipone/css/theme_blue.css.old with theme_blue.css
Also note that if your custom theme added any FontAwesome icons using pseudo-elements, they will also need to be updated
as per: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/advanced/css-pseudo-elements
