FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Minimize Stroke 16 icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
What does the Minimize Stroke 16 icon mean?
The minimize-stroke-16 icon represents a button to minimize a window or interface element. This type of icon is commonly used in graphical user interfaces to reduce the size of a window or panel. It originates from the early days of computing, where minimizing windows was a necessary feature to manage multiple open applications. The icon's significance lies in its ability to declutter the screen and focus on other tasks.
Where is the Minimize Stroke 16 icon used?
In software applications, this icon appears in window management controls, such as in operating systems like Windows or macOS, and in applications like Microsoft Office or Google Chrome. It is often used alongside other window control icons like maximize, restore, and close.
What does the Minimize Stroke 16 icon tell users?
From a UX perspective, the minimize icon communicates the ability to temporarily hide or reduce the size of a window or panel, allowing users to focus on other tasks or elements on the screen. It helps users understand that they can quickly restore the window to its original size when needed.
Which library is the Minimize Stroke 16 icon from?
Minimize Stroke 16 is one of 1,007 icons in Garden SVG Icons, made by Zendesk and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 grid.
How do I install the Minimize Stroke 16 icon with the shadcn CLI?
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MinimizeStroke16Icon to components/icons/garden-minimize-stroke-16.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
How do I use the Minimize Stroke 16 icon in Next.js or React?
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed MinimizeStroke16Icon 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.
How do I use the Minimize Stroke 16 icon in Vue, Svelte or Angular?
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.
Can my AI agent install the Minimize Stroke 16 icon for me?
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Minimize Stroke 16 icon, or any of 1,007 Garden SVG Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.
How do I change the color of the Minimize Stroke 16 icon?
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.
How do I change the size of the Minimize Stroke 16 icon?
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, and its stroke.
Does the Minimize Stroke 16 icon work in dark mode?
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.
How do I make the Minimize Stroke 16 icon accessible?
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="Minimize Stroke 16", so screen readers say what it does.
Can I pass aria-hidden or aria-label to the Minimize Stroke 16 icon?
Yes. MinimizeStroke16Icon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MinimizeStroke16Icon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Can I download the Minimize Stroke 16 icon as SVG or PNG?
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.
Can I use the Minimize Stroke 16 icon in commercial projects?
Yes. Apache 2.0 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.
Do I have to credit the author of the Minimize Stroke 16 icon?
No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 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 Garden SVG Icons, Zendesk and the license.
Is the Minimize Stroke 16 icon free?
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
What tags does the Minimize Stroke 16 icon have?
Its tags are UI, interface, action, control, button and window. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Minimize Stroke 16 in another set.
Does the Minimize Stroke 16 icon come in other styles?
Garden SVG Icons draws many icons in several styles: Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Minimize Stroke 16's siblings in it.
