Icons
Use crisp vector icons that inherit the surrounding theme.
use blinc_cn as cn;
use blinc_layout::prelude::*;
pub fn icon_demo() -> Div {
use blinc_icons::icons;
let mut grid = div().class("demo-icon-grid");
for (name, source) in [
("Search", icons::SEARCH),
("Heart", icons::HEART),
("Settings", icons::SETTINGS),
("Check", icons::CHECK),
("Folder", icons::FOLDER),
("File", icons::FILE),
("User", icons::USER),
("Bell", icons::BELL),
("Calendar", icons::CALENDAR),
("Clock", icons::CLOCK),
("Sun", icons::SUN),
("Moon", icons::MOON),
] {
grid = grid.child(
div()
.class("demo-icon-cell")
.child(cn::icon(source).size(cn::IconSize::Medium))
.child(text(name).class("demo-caption")),
);
}
grid
}
Usage and properties
Use crisp vector icons that inherit the surrounding theme. Apply CSS after the component layer to restyle the documented parts.
Use the installation guide to add blinc_cn and its component stylesheet. Create the fixture bindings once, and return the demo from your UI builder. Values marked Bound accept Signal/Computed sources where the API supports them; structural options configure the component at construction.
| Property | Type | Update model | This example |
|---|---|---|---|
path | icon path | Construction | Lucide icons from blinc_icons |
size | IconSize | Construction | Large |
Keyboard and interaction
Informational content; no activation or Tab stop is required.
Customizing it
Add application CSS after the default component layer. These selectors are the restyling surface for this component:
.cn-icon.demo-icons
Theme and component variables: --primary, --text-primary, --text-secondary, --surface, --border, --radius-default, --duration-fast, --ease-state.
Built-in themes
The Live theme control installs Blinc's own theme bundles, including their colours, focus rings, corner shapes and motion tokens.
pub fn theme_bundle_for(name: &str) -> blinc_theme::ThemeBundle {
match name {
"restrained" => blinc_theme::RestrainedTheme::bundle(),
"expressive" => blinc_theme::ExpressiveTheme::bundle(),
_ => blinc_theme::HybridTheme::bundle(),
}
.with_css(blinc_cn::cn_styles::CN_STYLES)
}Download the default widget and component stylesheets. Sample assets and licenses are available in the asset guide.
Documentation
From the canonical component guide.
Enable the cn and icons features on your blinc dependency for these examples.
cn::icon renders Lucide paths from blinc_icons and inherits its surrounding text colour.
use blinc::cn as cn;
use blinc::icons::icons;
use blinc::layout::prelude::*;
let icons = div().class("toolbar-icons")
.child(cn::icon(icons::SEARCH).size(cn::IconSize::Large))
.child(cn::icon(icons::SETTINGS).size(cn::IconSize::Large));
Size is a construction option; use size_px for a custom dimension. Use a button with a label or tooltip when the icon performs an action. Decorative icons are not independent keyboard stops.
Style .cn-icon or an application class on its parent. Keep colours in CSS so icons follow theme and scheme changes:
.toolbar-icons { color: var(--primary); gap: var(--space-4); }
Platforms and version
The component API is available in Blinc 0.6.0. The Live example runs in a dedicated worker and requires a compatible GPU surface. Preview and Code remain available when Live cannot start. The canvas has a descriptive label; a full screen-reader DOM mirror is not provided. The gallery integration is based on revision e2e55c24e078.
Recordings and live demos use the default Hybrid theme with bundled Noto Sans. The recording uses a 560 × 320 logical viewport at twice that resolution. Live follows its container and actual display density. Source base revision · Exact build source · Artifact versions and checksums · Font license.
