Question 3

What does the Panel Split Column icon tell users?

Accepted Answer

From a workspace organization perspective, the horizontal split symbol communicates more than just 'divided vertically' - it specifically indicates the workflow pattern of primary content above with supporting tools below, the natural reading flow from top to bottom, and the design convention of placing execution results or logs beneath their source content. This layout pattern helps users maintain focus on primary content while accessing contextual information.

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 Panel Split Column icon?

Accepted Answer

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Question 13

How do I make the Panel Split Column 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="Panel Split Column", so screen readers say what it does.
