Is it possible to customize the social sharing buttons/icons within the template manager?

Hey Paul and co.

Is there a way to add a phone icon to the list of social sharing buttons in the template manager under Social/add other networks? I can't find the url to the images, but looks like they are new 'content' css - content: "". I am not familiar with how I could add my own, I am sure there would be a phone icon I could add...? Also do you know an easy way to create a skype url to a skype account, so I can add a skype icon in the same Social Sharing section?

Thanks.

With much appreciation always,

.zen-icon-user:before {
content: "\f095";
}

hmm actually icon wise Skype is available as other network icon

Looking at this a bit more - I think it would require the creation of a new social block for skype using the skype call creator code

A developer would need to look at this - so it would require a custom support block purchase to complete it

Do you want me to make further enquiries?

Cheers
Paul

I don't think I am going to pursue it at this point, but it is good to know. Thank you for looking into it, Paul.
Happy Monday.
