Feature requests: fa-rotate-45

[kiero-pl]

Yesterday I need to do a close button and I want to use font-awesome to do it. And there was no cross icon or something like that. I simply used plus icon and rotate it 45deg with additional class.

I want to suggest a "fa-rotate-45" class for icons.

IE8/9 really sucks on 45deg rotations:

Take a look at #937 (comment)

[kiero-pl]

Yes, unfortunately IE sucks.
I used link in #937 comment and test it in www.browserstack.com/screenshots and I have mixed feelings about supporting IE :).
I think I will used additional class for now and where I need it.
Thanks for response.

PS: maybe consider to add "cross/close" icon?

icon-times is already there: http://fontawesome.io/icon/times/

icon-close (a thinner icon-times) is a request: #1540

[kiero-pl]

I must be blind :) Thanks for that.
I think this topic can be closed.

@magoo-pl it's ok to leave this open since this is a proper request for a css feature, but if you want you can close it

The issue is still valid - this would be really handy for arrows.

+1 for arrows
I am currently using rotate-90 with fa-bars fa-signal fa-sort fa-sort-asc fa-sort-desc fa-exchange

[abuisman]

+1 as well for arrows. I want to rotate arrow-up 45 degrees. For now I will rely on compass for this, but it would be handy if I could do it through fa.

+1 - looking for arrow icons to indicate expansion at the corners of a table.

This could have been summed up as:

IE8/9 really sucks

Is IE 8/9 support going to be revoked in a future version of Font Awesome?

[s-aida]

Not sure FA's support policy, but I'm concerned IE9 will be supported until Windows 7 dies...

+1 for fa-rotate-45

I use this for 45 rotations - just add onto font-awesome.min.css file:

.fa-rotate-45 {-webkit-transform:rotate(45deg); -moz-transform:rotate(45deg); -ms-transform:rotate(45deg); -o-transform:rotate(45deg); transform:rotate(45deg);}

Then add fa-rotate-45 to inline span code like <span class="fa fa-hand-o-right fa-rotate-45"></span>

@shunsukeaida nah I rather think until vista dies. Win7 got IE Updates and older IE versions than the latest available on a given system are dropped out of MS's support corner.
and the only OS with IE9 as latest is Vista.

Closing here in favour of #8515
