Icon request: jQuery UI parity

I was looking into replacing the jQuery UI icons with FontAwesome. Some of the jQuery UI icons have no place in Font Awesome, however comparing the two reveals a number of important omissions. I created the pen above to make it more obvious what the differences are. I might not have found all of the matches, but it should be close.

Some that would be useful:

• ui-icon-carat-2-n-s
• ui-icon-carat-2-e-w
• ui-icon-triangle-2-e-w
• ui-icon-newwin
• ui-icon-transferthick-e-w
• ui-icon-mail-open
• ui-icon-lightbulb
• ui-icon-bullet
• ui-icon-radio-on
• ui-icon-radio-off
• ui-icon-battery-0
• ui-icon-battery-1
• ui-icon-battery-2
• ui-icon-battery-3
• ui-icon-grip-dotted-vertical
• ui-icon-grip-dotted-horizontal
• ui-icon-grip-solid-vertical
• ui-icon-grip-solid-horizontal
• ui-icon-grip-diagonal-se

I don't know what to think about all of the icons like ui-icon-carat-1-ne, ui-icon-carat-1-se, etc. It seems like covering 8 directions is a little overkill. And the icons like ui-icon-arrowreturnthick-1-w seem lazy that they're simply rotated.

I totally agree, I'd love to replace it as well.

I can dig this. I'll see what I can do. Am also thinking of icon packs. Could do a straight jquery set to keep it clean.

I'll be waiting for this @davegandy!
I'm working with my own jQuery UI Bootstrap theme try; I have already received an request to allow changing the PNG icons to Font Awesome...

I'd really like the battery icon for building mobile UI status bars.

I need the battery icon for mobile UI's and hardware monitoring dashboards.

+1 - specifically the battery icon and newwin. The grips would be great, but those are covered in another request.

Hey folks, in an effort to clean-up our outstanding issues, I wanted to touch base on this one. I believe with the release of version 6, most of these icons have already been added. https://fontawesome.com/v6.0/icons

Let me know if there are any I'm missing, and I can re-open this. Thanks!
