Message Alt X

The message-alt-x icon represents a message or speech bubble that can be closed. It visually consists of a rectangle with a triangular tail and an 'x' symbol, indicating a conversation that can be dismissed. This symbol originates from the need to represent closable conversations in digital interfaces.

In software applications, this icon appears in messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Slack. It is also used in email clients and customer support tools to indicate closable conversations.

From a UX perspective, the message-alt-x icon communicates that a conversation or message can be dismissed. It helps users understand that they can close the conversation.

Message Alt X is one of 665 icons in BoxIcons Solid, made by Atisa and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MessageAltXIcon to components/icons/bxs-message-alt-x.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed MessageAltXIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Message Alt X icon, or any of 665 BoxIcons Solid icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

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.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

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="Message Alt X", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MessageAltXIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MessageAltXIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

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