1. Homepage (enabled)

Theme Settings

display icon titles

Uncheck this setting if you don't want to have titles under the tabs.

icons size

This setting controls the size of the icons. Unit is EM.

tab x settings

There are 6 of these settings, each one controls a tab. The format of these settings is as follows:

title, icon_name, relative_url_or_route_name, enabled (optional)

The title attribute is self-explanatory, it controls the title under the tab.

icon_name, this controls the icon of the tab. A full list of all icons you can use is here. If the icon you want is not showing, see the extend fa5 icons setting below.

relative_url_or_route_name, the third attribute, determines where the tab links to. It can be either a relative URL such as /latest, or an Ember route name.

The enabled attribute is optional, if you don't include it it will be enabled. Set to false if you want to disable a certain tab.

extend fa5 icons

By default, Discourse ships only a subset of the full set of FontAwesome 5 icons. If you want to use icons that are not included in the default subset, simply add them to this setting.
