[BUG] MDI item icons in unicodeOpeningIcon() produce broken icons

[ndejong]

Environment

Self-Hosted (Docker)

System

Firefox 105.0.3, Docker

Version

docker.io/lissy93/dashy:2.1.1

Describe the problem

When using Material Design appConfig.theme: material there are small-icons that appear on the left-hand-side when hovering over these items

Note the broken icon to the left of the item

Checking out the HTML, these icon(s) are presented to the browser via an a-tag attribute that looks like this

style='--open-icon: "\f360";'

A quick bit of digging for the string f360 indicates that this is coming from a function unicodeOpeningIcon() located here

Searching for unicode \f360 seems to indicate this value belongs to a private or reserved value-space

Hey @ndejong

You can fix this, by setting enableFontAwesome: true under appConfig.

See Troubleshooting --> Icons not Displaying for more info.

Ahh wow, I'd never have picked that out.

I had set appConfig.enableFontAwesome: false without knowing the material theme had a FA dependency.

I wonder if this type of theme dependency trap is common enough to warrant finding a way to surface the problem for users? I'm not a front-end tech-stack guy else I'd take a closer look to help out.

Thanks for taking the time to review and respond, Dashy is awesome.
