FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Selection Background icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The selection-background icon represents a selection tool with a background highlight. This icon is commonly used in software applications to facilitate the selection of items or areas of interest. It signifies the ability to choose and highlight specific parts of an interface.
In real-world applications, this icon appears in graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop, where users can select and highlight specific areas of an image. It's also used in text editors and word processors to select and highlight text.
From a UX perspective, this icon communicates the functionality of selection and highlighting, allowing users to focus on specific parts of an interface. It helps users understand that they can interact with and manipulate selected items.
Selection Background is one of 9,161 icons in Phosphor, made by Phosphor Icons and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 256 × 256 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 SelectionBackgroundIcon to components/icons/ph-selection-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 SelectionBackgroundIcon 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.
Yes, if your project has @phosphor-icons/react: Selection Background is `SelectionBackground` there, used as <SelectionBackground />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.
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 Selection Background icon, or any of 9,161 Phosphor 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 256 × 256 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="Selection Background", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. SelectionBackgroundIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SelectionBackgroundIcon 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 Phosphor, Phosphor Icons and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Its tags are UI, interface, action, emphasis, highlight and select. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Selection Background in another set.
Phosphor draws many icons in several styles: Bold, Light, Thin, Duotone and Fill next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Selection Background's siblings in it.
