Frequently asked questions
What the View Compact Alt icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The view-compact-alt icon represents an alternative compact or dense layout option, often used to switch between different viewing modes in software applications. This icon is typically used in user interfaces to provide users with flexibility in how they view content.
In real-world applications, this icon appears in software like Google Drive, Google Docs, or Google Sheets, where users need to switch between different layout modes to manage their files and documents. For example, in Google Drive, users can switch between 'List', 'Grid', and 'Compact' views to browse through their files.
From a UX perspective, this icon communicates the ability to adjust the layout or viewing mode, providing users with control over their viewing experience. The compact style helps to reduce visual clutter and provide a clear visual hierarchy.
View Compact Alt is one of 15,390 icons in Material Symbols Light, made by Google and released under Apache 2.0. 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 ViewCompactAltIcon to components/icons/material-symbols-light-view-compact-alt.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 ViewCompactAltIcon 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 View Compact Alt icon, or any of 15,390 Material Symbols Light 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="View Compact Alt", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. ViewCompactAltIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <ViewCompactAltIcon 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. 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.
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 Material Symbols Light, Google and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
