28,704 Pointssvg in footer not displayed properly
Hi guy's,
I followed the video so far, but the svg for the footer (twitter-wrap & facebook-wrap) are not displayed properly. When I hover over them my courser changes, the links are working and while inspecting the elements they are inside the DOM but it seems that they have adopted a white color.
Does someone have the same issue or know how to fix that?
Many thanks for your help,
Greetings, Basti

Im experiencing the same issues when im dealing with svg sprite maps, for fix i recommend to set fill property through css for the svg element that uses particular icon, also read about cascading fill color.
Hope this helps

thanks for your quick answer.
Unfortunately the fill property doesn't work in workspaces. I try it again in my local dev environment and let you know, if it fixes the issue.
