Hi was trying hard to replace the kendo panel bar expand and collapse icon with bootstrap glyphicon-chevron-right. One way I can think is using javascript, literally replacing each and every state of icon. I have also noticed that kendo panelbar adds the following css to the span like:

k-icon k-i-arrow-s k-panelbar-expand  -- when collapsed

k-icon k-i-arrow-n k-panelbar-collapse-- when expanded

I have tried doing this

#leftcontentnav .k-panelbar > li > span >.k-icon {
    background-color: transparent;
    opacity: 0.8;
    border-color: transparent;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
    overflow: hidden;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0;
    text-align: center;
    background-image: url('../Images/download.jpg');
}

But I have downloaded a glyphicon and even that doesn't work properly.. is there any solution?

An important thing to realize about Glyphicons, is that they're font characters. If you want to use them to replace the icons purely with CSS it's a simple matter of hiding the existing icon, and inserting a Glyphicon in it's place.

First hide the Kendo icon image, and add the appropriate font:

.k-panelbar .k-icon {
    background-image: none;

    font-family: 'Glyphicons Halflings';
    font-size: 1em;
    overflow: visible;
}

Then insert the character you wish to use with the ::before selector:

.k-panelbar-expand::before {
    content: "\e114"; /* glyphicon-chevron-down */
}

.k-panelbar-collapse::before {
    content: "\e113"; /* glyphicon-chevron-up */
}

    This is awesome, I have been having the same issues trying to change icons in Kendo. Thanks for your answer! – haakon.io Apr 12 '16 at 17:51

You can do with changing the position of the image on the glyphicon in your css

example:

.k-i-arrow-s { background-position: -96px 0; }
.k-i-arrow-n { background-position: -120px 0; }

You must calculate the position on your glyphicon image.
