Advanced CSS Customization
This detailed video (about 12 minutes) shows how to do various CSS Customizations:
Simple Method - Entering Style Code Directly
You can easily include CSS code in your tree's rendering. This can override the defaults in your theme. Go to the Settings tool, and click the Code tab, then enter your custom styling, like this:
Example: Enter this code to make an orange background in Panels style:
<style>
.panel-body {background-color: #DD7439;}
</style>
Advanced Method - Creating your own CSS File
The Theme/Custom CSS option in the Settings tool lets you enter a URL that contains all the CSS information required to customize the appearance of your tree. If you like, you can go one step further and modify the CSS from one of the URLs generated by the Theme selector to create your own file.
To use your own CSS file: Go to the Settings tool, click the Rendering tab, and enter your custom CSS URL here:
Please note: You'll need to save this CSS file to a server that supports https.
How to Add Icons to Buttons and Titles
FontAwesome 4.7 is included in the Zingtree code, so you just need to add the HTML for the icon you want.
The list of FontAwesome icons is here.
Example: To add a Car icon to a button, just insert this code into the button text:
<i class="fa fa-car"></i>
