Description

Question

I tried:

#mdbook-theme-toggle > .fa-svg > svg {
    display: none;
}

#mdbook-theme-toggle > .fa-svg::before {
    content: "";
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-image: url("../icons/theme-toggle.png");
    background-size: contain;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

(I used a PNG just for testing out.)

Nothing.

Verify how the FontAwesome SVG is inserted and whether the proposed override can affect it. Done means identifying a supported override or documenting a concrete fix for replacing the icon.
