How to style icon color, size, and shadow of Font Awesome Icons

How could I style the color, size and shadow of icons from Font Awesome's Icons?

For example, Font Awesome's site will show some icons in white and some in red but won't show the CSS for how to style them that way ...

Buttons and links of different colours, with both red, white and black icons next to them


Solution 1:

Given that they're simply fonts, then you should be able to style them as fonts:

#elementID {
    color: #fff;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #ccc;
    font-size: 1.5em;
}

Solution 2:

You can also just add style inline:

<i class="icon-ok-sign" style="color:green"></i>

<i class="icon-warning-sign" style="color:red"></i>

Solution 3:

If you are using Bootstrap at the same time, you can use:

<i class="fa fa-check-circle-o fa-5x text-success" ></i>

Otherwise:

<i class="fa fa-check-circle-o fa-5x" style="color:green"></i>

Solution 4:

Looks like the FontAwesome icon color responds to text-info, text-error, etc.

<div style="font-size: 44px;">
   <i class="icon-umbrella icon-large text-error"></i>
</div>

Solution 5:

inyour.css file:

    *.icon-white {color: white}
    *.icon-silver {color: silver}

inyour.html file:

    <a><i class="icon-book icon-white"></i> Book</a>
    <a><i class="icon-ok-sign icon-silver"></i> OK</a>
