FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Folder Active icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The folder-active icon represents a selected or active folder in a file system. It is similar to the folder icon but often has visual indicators like a bold border, fill, or other highlighting effects to signify that it is currently selected or active.
The folder-active icon is commonly used in file explorers like Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, and Linux file managers. Cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive also use these icons to indicate the currently selected folder.
The folder-active icon communicates that a folder has been chosen or is being interacted with. This helps users understand the current context and location within the file system.
Folder Active is one of 538 icons in Codicons, made by Microsoft Corporation and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 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 FolderActiveIcon to components/icons/codicon-folder-active.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 FolderActiveIcon 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 Folder Active icon, or any of 538 Codicons 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 16 × 16 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="Folder Active", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. FolderActiveIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FolderActiveIcon 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 (Microsoft Corporation) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Microsoft Corporation, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Its tags are file, organization, storage, directory and selected. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Folder Active in another set.
