FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Add Background icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The 'add-background' icon represents the action of adding a new background or layer to a design or document. It features a combination of shapes and lines that suggest the creation of something new. The icon's visual design is simple yet effective, making it easily recognizable.
In software applications like Adobe Photoshop or Canva, this icon is often used to represent the action of adding a new layer or background to a design. It's also commonly found in digital art and graphic design tools.
From a UX perspective, this icon communicates the idea of creation and addition. It helps users understand that they can add new elements to their design or document, making it a crucial part of the user interface.
Add Background is one of 78 icons in CodeX Icons, made by CodeX and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds AddBackgroundIcon to components/icons/codex-add-background.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 AddBackgroundIcon 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 Add Background icon, or any of 78 CodeX Icons 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, and its stroke.
Add Background is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
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="Add Background", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. AddBackgroundIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AddBackgroundIcon 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. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming CodeX Icons, CodeX and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Its tags are add, plus, new, insert, layer and background. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Add Background in another set.
