Icon Color ​

Utilities for controlling the icon color.

s-prefix

The s- (semantic) prefix signals that the color value of these will change with the brand css.

Static and inverted static variants ​

All of the classes in the quick reference have two additional variants to cater for areas of the page that should not change between light and dark mode.

  • The static suffix.
  • The inverted modifier.

The format is always s-icon(-inverted)-<name>(-static) where <name> is what comes after s-icon in the quick reference.

For example, to get a positive icon that stays in its light mode form even in dark mode, use this class:

css
.s-icon-positive-static

To always get its inverted (dark mode) form, use the inverted modifier.

css
.s-icon-inverted-positive-static

To get its inverted form in light mode but have it change to its light mode counterpart in dark mode then only use the inverted modifier:

css
.s-icon-inverted-positive

The active and hover states for interactive icons work the same way:

css
.s-icon-secondary-static,
.s-icon-secondary-hover-static,
.s-icon-secondary-active-static
css
.s-icon-inverted-secondary-static,
.s-icon-inverted-secondary-hover-static,
.s-icon-inverted-secondary-active-static

Basic usage ​

Setting the icon color ​

Control the color of an icon using the s-icon-{semantic color} utilities specified in the table above.

html
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="s-icon ..." />
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="s-icon-primary ..." />
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="s-icon-positive ..." />
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="s-icon-warning ..." />

Arbitrary values ​

If you need to use a one-off icon-{color} value, use the text utility class with square brackets to set the color css property. We recommend only using our semantic color tokens for this.

html
<p class="text-[--w-s-color-border]"></p>

Opacity ​

It is possible to control the opacity of the icon color by adding an optional alpha modifier. The modifier accepts any integer percentage value between 0 and 100. This works for the semantic icon classes, and you can also use the arbitrary text classes with any primitive --w-{color} or semantic --w-s-color-{name} css variable.

Warning

Please be advised that by using primitive variables you will lose theming possibilities, therefore we highly recommend only using semantic classes and tokens.

The examples below are inaccessible and purely for technical reference. Always make sure to have sufficient contrast.

html
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="s-icon/60 hover:s-icon/100 ..." />
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="s-icon-primary/60 hover:s-icon-primary/100 ... ..." />
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="text-[--w-s-color-text-positive/60] hover:text-[--w-s-color-text-positive/100] ..." />
<w-icon name="StarFull" size="64px" class="text-[var(--w-black)/50] hover:text-[var(--w-black)/100] ..." />
