Update.
Harmonized the QRE Font Awesome icons with the "Advanced Editor".
Also, worked on the same editor to get the font color picker to work in the AAEPE (Advanced and Edit Post Editor) (no joy yet) and to get the attachments to work in QRE (no joy yet). I think the issue is in the two different javascript files used for these two editors. Will need to look deeper into the JS code for these editors. Disabled the PHP and HTML bbcode in the advanced editor since they are mostly misused and we don't need the syntax highlighting for PHP and HTML. The basic code tags work well enough.
The main difference in the two editors are:

The main difference in the two editors are:
- Color Picker works in QRE but not in the AAEPE.
- Attachments work in the AE but not in the QRE.
- AE has post preview mode.
TODO:
- Swap the ICODE icon with the CODE gif and add new fa-terminal FA icon for ICODE.
- Replace code.gif icon with a screenshot of the new CODE icon for hints and directions.
- Maybe reorder the AAEPE icons to match the QRE order to be consistent.
- Look into fixing the conflicts or missing functions between the JS code for both editors.
EXTRA TODOs
- Create a Bootstrap modal for the editor which explains how to use the two code tags (popup information modal)
- Try to get the "upload attachment modal" I wrote to work 100% (not yet available to the site).

GTK-UPDATE-ICON-C(1) [FIXME: manual] GTK-UPDATE-ICON-C(1) NAME
gtk-update-icon-cache - Icon theme caching utility SYNOPSIS
gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only] [--source [name]] [--quiet] [--validate] {iconpath} DESCRIPTION
gtk-update-icon-cache creates mmap()able cache files for icon themes. It expects to be given the path to a icon theme directory containing an index.theme, e.g. /usr/share/icons/hicolor, and writes a icon-theme.cache containing cached information about the icons in the directory tree below the given directory. GTK+ can use the cache files created by gtk-update-icon-cache to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the application starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them to be mmap()ed shared between multiple applications, the overall memory consumption is reduced as well. OPTIONS
--force, -f Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be uptodate. --ignore-theme-index, -t Don't check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be the toplevel directory of an icon theme. --index-only, -i Don't include image data in the cache. --source, -c Output a C header file declaring a constant name with the contents of the icon cache. --quiet, -q Turn off verbose output. --validate, -v Validate existing icon cache. BUGS
