XF 2.0 Using a Set Default Icon for All Threads

[ISPr_Winter]

I'm not a big fan of the dynamic avatar icons also becoming thread icons, I much prefer the more traditional forum style where you have a single newspaper style icon in front of every thread. Is there any way to do that in XenForo 2?

We have an option built into our styles that let you do this (a few display options) if you use a custom style you could check with your author to see if it exists.

However, it's easy to apply:
Template: thread_list_macros

Find:

                <xf:avatar user="$thread.User" size="s" defaultname="{$thread.username}" />
                <xf:if is="$thread.getUserPostCount()">
                    <xf:avatar user="$xf.visitor" size="s"
                        href=""
                        class="avatar--separated structItem-secondaryIcon"
                        title="{{ phrase('you_have_posted_x_messages_in_this_thread', {'count': $thread.getUserPostCount() }) }}" />
                </xf:if>

Replace with:

                <i class="fa fa-newspaper-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>

Add to extra.less:

.structItem-cell.structItem-cell--icon {
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align: center;
}

Result:

Perfect, although I tweaked it a little to use a different icon but that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks.

I sat a default icon in front of every thread too (actually I'm using image instead of font awesome icon), but I'd like to set a different icon for those kind of threads ''you_have_posted_x_messages_in_this_thread'' so that users could see which threads they've posted in.
Is there any way to do that?
