Accepted Answer

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Question 11

How do I change the color of the Springer Square icon?

Accepted Answer

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Question 12

How do I change the size of the Springer Square icon?

Accepted Answer

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 448 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Question 13

How do I make the Springer Square icon accessible?

Accepted Answer

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Springer Square", so screen readers say what it does.
