ttkbootstrap-icons-fa

This package has moved

Font Awesome 6 (Free) now ship as an extra of tkinter-icons:

pip install "tkinter-icons[fontawesome]"

from tkinter_icons import FontAwesomeIcon

Font Awesome 6 (Free) pack documentation

ttkbootstrap-icons was renamed to tkinter-icons in 5.0.0. The old name promised a relationship with ttkbootstrap that no longer holds — Bootstrap icons are built into ttkbootstrap itself now — and the sixteen icon sets moved from separate distributions you install by name to extras of one library.

What changes for you

The class is the same. FAIcon is still exported from tkinter_icons (alongside the spelled-out FontAwesomeIcon), so the only edit is the import line. Everything else — (name, size, color, style) — is unchanged.

The replacement pack tracks Font Awesome 6 (Free) v6.7.2 and carries 2,141 names across the solid, regular and brands styles.

Not ready to move? Your existing code keeps working: ttkbootstrap-icons 5.0.0 is a forwarding shim that re-exports the old import root. See the migration notes.

About this release

1.0.3 is the final release of ttkbootstrap-icons-fa. It ships the same font and the same glyph data as 1.0.2, and draws the same icons. Three things changed:

• this page, which pointed at a layout that no longer exists
• the base pin, now ttkbootstrap-icons>=3.0.0,<5, so installing this package keeps resolving the pre-5.0 base it was built against rather than the 5.0 forwarding shim
• importing it now emits a FutureWarning naming the replacement

Nothing further will be published under this name.
