Accepted Answer

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Question 12

How do I change the size of the Pen icon?

Accepted Answer

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 128 × 128 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

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