I’d like to make link components with SNS icons like below:
This is from [here](https://neonmoireshow.glideapp.io/).
I tried to change link icon, but I didn’t.

Just add the url’s to the cells and Glide recognizes the destination and defaults to those Icons.

I wondered that too, I just thought it was a typo or a translation thing. But good question.

SNS means social media in Japanese.
I didn’t know “SNS” could not be made sense…

Hi Peimish,
I know i’m a little late to this conversation but how do I get those icons, are they free, can you change the color of the background? Any information on the best way to get them would be helpful!!
Thank You
Fred

They are automatic when using a link component. The link address will determine the icon. The color is determined by your theme’s color scheme.

Not just in Japan. SNS stands for social networking service.

We just shortened it to social network but it really should be a SIN, social information network. Ha.

Likely just direct links to the person’s profiles, in the same way you link to a website.
