Unlock a whole new world of custom icons in Q‑SYS Designer using CSS, icon fonts, and modern web‑style workflows. In this episode of Arctic’s 8‑Bit Bytes, I walk you through how to extend Q‑SYS beyond its built‑in icon set by tapping into Zurb Foundation 3, Google Material Icons, and other font‑based libraries — all styled and controlled through clean, modular CSS.
