  1. Go to More > Themes Management and create a new theme (this is just temporary).
  2. Select the files tab & search for sprite.svg.
  3. Select the file name & download the file.
  4. Select your existing theme & select Update.

  6. Select Add Files and upload the sprite.svg file you download.
  7. Publish your theme with the new sprite file. You will need to upload this file for each theme you have applied in your OpenCities.
• If you are using your own custom sprite SVG file, you will need to manually update the previous Twitter logo to the current X logo for your file.
