Glyphicons in Bootstrap
I am a big fan of Bootstrap. Its modular grid system makes it easy to build quick layouts. You can build mobile websites quickly using predefined classes. These classes determine the width and behavior of the div that you apply them to. One of the handiest features and bootstrap is the ability to use Glyphicons. These icons can be placed within your website to add visual elements to your layout. They are built-in, and can be used by specifying certain classes. In this tutorial video all show you how to use Glyphicons in bootstrap.
You’ll use a certain method, depending on where you place your Glyphicons. You can use them in your navigation menus by using something called an “I class.” Then, all you need to do is specify the icon that you want to use. The full list of available icons are available on bootstrap’s website. There are a wide variety of icons that are typical in most user interfaces and websites.
To style Glyphicons, use the Glyphicons class in your CSS file. You can apply the same effects to Glyphicons that you would any other element. Many web designers choose to use hover effects and transitions to add interactivity to a site. These subtle effects make a website more enjoyable to explore. They also add visual impact to your designs. They are also easy to use, because they are built right into every bootstrap installation.
