The .NET Maui Icons is a comprehensive library collection that facilitates icon and font icon management within the .NET Maui framework. This library includes controls that seamlessly integrate three iconic design systems: Fluent, Material, Cupertino and FontAwesome. These controls offer complete access to the mentioned Icon collections, delivering a rich and versatile iconography solution for .NET Maui applications.
In order to use the .NET MAUI Icons you need to call the extension method in your
MauiProgram.cs
file as follows:
public static class MauiProgram
{
public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
{
var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
// Maui App Builder that Comes with Default Maui App
builder.UseMauiApp<App>()
// Initialises the .Net Maui Icons - Fluent
.UseFluentMauiIcons()
// Initialises the .Net Maui Icons - Material
.UseMaterialMauiIcons()
// Initialises the .Net Maui Icons - Cupertino
.UseCupertinoMauiIcons();
}
}

In order to make use of the .Net Maui Icons you can use the below namespace:
xmlns:mi="http://www.aathifmahir.com/dotnet/2022/maui/icons"
You can set the default icon size, font override, and default font auto-scaling using the UseMauiIconsCore
builder extension as follows:
builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x =>
{
x.SetDefaultIconSize(30.0);
x.SetDefaultFontOverride(true);
x.SetDefaultFontAutoScaling(true);
})
if you came across this issue dotnet/maui#7503 when using new namespace, Make sure to create an discarded instance of MauiIcon in the codebehind like below
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
// Temporary Workaround for url styled namespace in xaml
_ = new MauiIcon();
}
Xaml
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:Cupertino Airplane}"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:material ABC}"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:fluent Accounts}"/>
C#
// Traditional C#
new MauiIcon() {Icon = CupertinoIcons.AppBadge, IconColor = Colors.Green};
new MauiIcon() {Icon = FluentIcons.Accounts, IconColor = Colors.Blue};
new MauiIcon() {Icon = MaterialIcons.ABC, IconColor = Colors.Yellow};
// C# Markup
new MauiIcon().Icon(CupertinoIcons.AntFill).IconColor(Colors.Purple);
new MauiIcon().Icon(FluentIcons.Accounts).IconColor(Colors.Magenta);
new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialIcons.ABC).IconColor(Colors.Violet);
<Image Aspect="Center" mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:Cupertino Icon=ArchiveboxFill}"/>
<Label mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:Fluent Icon=Accounts, FontOverride=True}"/>
<ImageButton mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:Material Icon=AccessAlarm}"/>
<Entry mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:FontAwesome Icon=AddressBook, FontOverride=True}"/>
<Button mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:SegoeFluent AdjustHologram, IconSize=Large, IconColor=Pink}" />
The below example Binds to MyIcon and MyColor Properties Which Present in Code Behind But Not Included in this Example.

new ImageButton().Icon(FluentIcons.Accounts);
new Image().Icon(CupertinoIcons.AntFill);
new Label().Icon(MaterialIcons.Home, fontOverride: true).IconSize(40.0).IconColor(Colors.Red);
new Entry().Icon(CupertinoIcons.AntFill, fontOverride: true).IconSize(20.0).IconColor(Colors.Aqua);
new SearchBar().Icon(MaterialIcons.ABC, fontOverride: true);
Controls that Supports Placeholder, Can Assign the Icon To PlaceHolder or Text,
Defaults to Placeholder but can be set to Text by Setting TargetName Parameter to Text
new Entry().Icon(CupertinoIcons.AntFill, fontOverride: true, targetName: "Text").IconSize(20.0).IconColor(Colors.Aqua);
new SearchBar().Icon(MaterialIcons.ABC, fontOverride: true, targetName: "PlaceHolder"); // Setting TargetName PlaceHolder is Redundant as it's Default
Disclaimer: It's important to note that we are Overriding Font on Input Control to Set the Icon that Could Cause Unexpected Behaviors and Rendering Issues as well.
The Built in MauiIcon Control Does Support IconSuffix and It's Customizations, You can use Icon Suffix Feature by Following Below Examples
Xaml
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:Material Icon=AirplanemodeActive}" IconSuffixTextColor="Red" IconSuffix="Off" IconSuffixFontSize="16"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:FontAwesomeBrand Icon=Github}" IconSuffixTextColor="Cyan" IconSuffix="Repo" IconSuffixFontSize="16"/>
C#
new MauiIcon().Icon(FontAwesomeBrandIcons.Pinterest).IconColor(Colors.Red).IconSuffix("Pin").IconSuffixBackgroundColor(Colors.White);
new MauiIcon().Icon(CupertinoIcons.Airplane).IconColor(Colors.Cyan).IconSuffix("Flying");
Xaml
<!-- Entrance Animation -->
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:Cupertino Airplane}" EntranceAnimationType="Fade"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:material ABC}" EntranceAnimationType="Rotate" EntranceAnimationDuration="4000"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:fluent Accounts}" EntranceAnimationType="Scale"/>
<!-- OnClick Animation -->
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:Cupertino Airplane}" OnClickAnimationType="Fade"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:material ABC}" OnClickAnimationType="Rotate" OnClickAnimationDuration="4000"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:fluent Accounts}" OnClickAnimationType="Scale"/>
C#
// Entrance Animation
new MauiIcon().Icon(CupertinoIcons.AntFill).EntranceAnimationType(AnimationType.Fade);
new MauiIcon().Icon(FluentIcons.Accounts).EntranceAnimationType(AnimationType.Rotate);
new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialIcons.ABC).EntranceAnimationType(AnimationType.Scale).EntranceAnimationDuration(4000);
// OnClick Animation
new MauiIcon().Icon(CupertinoIcons.AntFill).OnClickAnimationType(AnimationType.Fade);
new MauiIcon().Icon(FluentIcons.Accounts).OnClickAnimationType(AnimationType.Rotate);
new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialIcons.ABC).OnClickAnimationType(AnimationType.Scale).OnClickAnimationDuration(4000);
Xaml
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:Cupertino Airplane}" OnPlatforms="WinUI, Android, MacCatalyst"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:material ABC}" OnIdioms="Desktop, Phone, Tablet"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:fluent Accounts}" OnPlatforms="Android" OnIdioms="Phone"/>
C#
new MauiIcon().Icon(CupertinoIcons.AntFill).OnPlatforms(new List<string>{"WinUI", "Android"});
new MauiIcon().Icon(FluentIcons.Accounts).OnIdioms(new List<string>{"Desktop", "Phone"});
new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialIcons.ABC).OnPlatforms(new List<string>{"WinUI", "Android"}).OnIdioms(new List<string>{"Desktop", "Phone"});
- Icon won't be applied to the Controls like Entry, SearchBar and etc.. by default Instead v4 would throw an Exception, Need to set FontOverride to true to apply the Icon to these Controls on Builder Extension Level or Control Level
- This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new
UseMauiIconsCore
Builder Extension and usingSetDefaultFontOverride
Method like Below
- This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new
builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x =>
{
x.SetDefaultFontOverride(true);
})
- Icon Size is Now Set to Control's FontSize by Default, Previously it was set to 30.0 by Default
- This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new
UseMauiIconsCore
Builder Extension and usingSetDefaultIconSize
Method like Below
- This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new
builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x =>
{
x.SetDefaultIconSize(30.0);
})
- Removal of TypeArgument and Built in OnPlatform and OnIdiom Support, Use MauiIcons Integrated OnPlatform and OnIdioms Feature
- Removal of Dotnet 7 Support
Old (v1)
xmlns:fluent="clr-namespace:MauiIcons.Fluent;assembly=MauiIcons.Fluent"
<fluent:MauiIcon Icon="AppFolder48"/>
New (v2)
xmlns:mi="http://www.aathifmahir.com/dotnet/2022/maui/icons"
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:Fluent AppFolder48}"/>
- We have a new way of Assigning/Setting Icons, Introducing New Attached Property for Icons, The new AttachedProperty Brings in Support for Triggers, Behaviors, Styles, etc.. which is lacking on Classic Xaml Markup Extension, and also it's more cleaner and readable
/// Old
<Image Aspect="Center" Source="{mi:Fluent Icon=Accessibility48}"/>
// New
<Image Aspect="Center" mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:Fluent Icon=Accessibility48}"/>
Disclaimer: The Old Xaml Markup Extension is still Supported and can be used, but it's recommended to use the new Attached Property for better support and readability and we have plans to deprecate the old Xaml Markup Extension in the future in favor of Attached Property
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="mi:MauiIcon.Value" Value="{mi:Fluent Icon=AppFolder48}" />
</Style>
<Button Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}"/>
- Introducing New
UseMauiIconsCore
Builder Extension for Setting Default Icon Size, Font Override, Default Font Auto Scaling and etc.. Check the Advanced Settings for More Information
- Improved Built in OnPlatforms and OnIdioms with Binding Improvements and Enhanced Performance
- New
OnClickAnimation
Support for MauiIcon Control, Check the Animation Usage for More Information
- If you came across Situation where the Controls Does Have Multiple Source to Apply Icons, You want the Icon you Set on Attached Property to Apply to All the Sources, You can do that as well, Set the TargetName to
.
, This will Apply the Icon to All the Sources
<Tab mi:MauiIcon.Value="{mi:Fluent Icon=Home32, TargetName='.'}">
<ShellContent
Title="Xaml"
ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:MainPage}"
Route="MainPage" />
</Tab>
- If you came across Situation Where you want to Apply the Icon to Different Source over Default Source that Set by MauiIcons, You can do that as well, Set the TargetName to Source Property Name, This will Apply the Icon to that Specific Source
<Tab mi:MauiIcon.Value="{mi:Fluent Icon=Home32, TargetName='FlyoutIcon'}">
<ShellContent
Title="Xaml"
ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:MainPage}"
Route="MainPage" />
</Tab>
- If you came across Situation where the Controls Does Have Multiple Source to Apply Icons, You want different icon for those Additional Sources, You can do that by Applying the Icon Directly to Source Using Xaml Markup like Below Example
<Tab mi:MauiIcon.Value="{mi:Fluent Icon=Home32}" FlyoutIcon="{mi:Fluent Icon=Accessibility48}">
<ShellContent
Title="Xaml"
ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:MainPage}"
Route="MainPage" />
</Tab>
Overall TargetName Behaves like a Source Property Name, If you want to Apply the Icon to Specific Source, Set the TargetName to Source Property Name, If you want to Apply the Icon to All the Sources, Set the TargetName to .
