FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Sun icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
What does the Sun icon mean?
The sun icon represents light mode and brightness controls in theme switching and display settings. Featuring a sun with radiating rays, this symbol indicates light theme activation, brightness adjustment, and the day mode that provides bright backgrounds and dark text for optimal daytime viewing across applications and operating systems.
Where is the Sun icon used?
In theme switcher interfaces across websites and applications, users toggle this icon to activate light mode and switch from dark themes. Operating system display settings implement it for brightness controls, while reading applications such as Kindle and Apple Books display it for activating bright reading modes optimized for well-lit environments.
What does the Sun icon tell users?
The sun symbol communicates more than brightness - it specifically represents the light theme preference, the daytime color scheme that distinguishes bright interfaces from dark mode alternatives, and the accessibility option that some users prefer for readability. This universal icon helps users control their visual experience.
Which library is the Sun icon from?
Sun is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.
How do I install the Sun 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 SunIcon to components/icons/lucide-sun.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
How do I use the Sun icon in Next.js or React?
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed SunIcon 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.
Can I import the Sun icon from lucide-react instead?
Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Sun is `SunIcon` there, used as <SunIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.
How do I use the Sun 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 Sun icon for me?
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Sun icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide icons, and install it from a prompt.
How do I change the color of the Sun 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 Sun icon?
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.
How do I change the stroke width of the Sun icon?
Sun 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.
Does the Sun 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 Sun 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="Sun", so screen readers say what it does.
Can I pass aria-hidden or aria-label to the Sun icon?
Yes. SunIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SunIcon 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 Sun 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 Sun icon in commercial projects?
Yes. ISC 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 Sun icon?
No visible credit is required: ISC 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 Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.
Is the Sun icon free?
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Which other libraries have the Sun icon?
8 other libraries draw an icon called Sun. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.
