Question 9

Can I use the Fax icon in commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (creativeLabs Łukasz Holeczek) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Question 10

Is the Fax icon free?

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 Fax 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 Fax icon?

Accepted Answer

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 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 Fax 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="Fax", so screen readers say what it does.
