I've resorted to using the essential theme but I'm having trouble with the custom code
Something like this use to work and now doesnt
dropdown a[title="menu parent"]:before{content:"\f015"; font-family: FontAwesome; margin-right: .5em;}
ul.dropdown-menu a[title=“child option“]:before{content:"\f015"; font-family: FontAwesome; margin-right: .5em;}

Hi mr the muppet
Have you checked the full css selector is still valid?
In boost the navbar has changed because of changes in bootstrap 4. It might be a nice idea to have Moodle core support using fa icons in the custom menu just like the user menu does. If you would like to put some work into this feel free to open a Moodle Tracker issue for this.

Hi Bas,
See my thread, Kathrin has raised this already it seems.

Ok if MDL-61573 solves the problem that it states then Essential will work with it. However it won't as the patch is still calling 'resolve_image_location' which does nothing to call the font icon system. And in any event the issue is an improvement so won't be until M3.6 at the earliest.
