eicon-time-line for variable font affect

Assistant

It looks like you're referring to using the **`eicon-time-line`** icon for your custom **Elementor** widget (probably the "Variable Font" widget you're working on). If you're thinking of using that icon to represent a **font animation effect** (like a timeline of font transitions), it’s actually a clever metaphor!

Here’s how you can set the `eicon-time-line` as your widget icon:

### ✅ How to Use `eicon-time-line` in Your Elementor Widget:
When registering your custom Elementor widget, pass the `icon` parameter in the widget class:

public function get_icon() {
    return 'eicon-time-line';
}

### 📝 A bit more context:
– **`eicon-`** icons are part of Elementor’s internal icon library (based on Font Awesome or custom SVGs).
– `eicon-time-line` typically looks like a horizontal line with dots — it can metaphorically represent progression, stages, or animation over time, which fits well with **variable font animation**.

### 💡 Optional Idea:
If you want the icon to better reflect font behavior (like font-weight changing or morphing shapes), you could also use:
– `eicon-text`
– `eicon-font`
– `fas fa-font` (from Font Awesome)
– Or even register your own SVG icon.

eicon-time-line replace it with some valid icon related to varible font plugin

Got it! Since you're creating a **Variable Font** Elementor widget, and `eicon-time-line` doesn’t directly represent fonts or typography, here are better fitting icons you can use to visually represent **font animation or font variability**:

### ✅ **Recommended Elementor Icons:**

#### 1. `eicon-font`
– **Meaning:** Represents text/fonts clearly.
– **Usage:**

public function get_icon() {
      return 'eicon-font';
  }

#### 2. `eicon-text`
– **Meaning:** General text editing; simple and safe.
– **Usage:**

public function get_icon() {
      return 'eicon-text';
  }

#### 3. Font Awesome Icons (if you're using Font Awesome in Elementor):
You can return these as class names too:

##### a. `fas fa-font`
– **Classic font icon**

public function get_icon() {
      return 'fas fa-font';
  }

##### b. `fas fa-text-height`
– **Great if you're animating font height/weight**

public function get_icon() {
      return 'fas fa-text-height';
  }

##### c. `fas fa-align-left` / `fa-italic` / `fa-bold`
– Good if your widget emphasizes formatting or text style transitions.

### 🛠 Bonus: Custom SVG Icon (Advanced)
If you're feeling creative and want your **own animated-looking typography icon**, you can also register a custom SVG icon with Elementor.

Let me know if you want help creating a custom SVG or adding it to Elementor’s icon picker UI.

Would you like a suggestion between `eicon-font` and `fas fa-text-height`?
