MahApps.Metro.IconPacks

Some awesome icons all together...

The IconPacks library contains controls to use awesome icons from

• Material (v1.7.22 with 1813 icons)
• Font Awesome (v4.7 with 675 icons)
• GitHub Octicons (v5.0.1 with 176 icons)
• Modern (1224 icons)
• Entypo+ (410 icons)

for WPF and UWP apps in a simple way.

It's not necessary to install MahApps.Metro (for WPF), but it makes your application nicer.

Usage

If you want all icons together then just install the MahApps.Metro.IconPacks NuGet package. You can also only install one of the icon packs if you don't need them all.

<iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Kind="EmoticonCool" />

<iconPacks:PackIconFontAwesome Kind="FontAwesome" />

<iconPacks:PackIconOcticons Kind="MarkGithub" />

<iconPacks:PackIconModern Kind="ThumbsUp" />

<iconPacks:PackIconEntypo Kind="EmojiHappy" />

The Xaml namespace for all icon packs is:

xmlns:iconPacks="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/iconpacks"

and for the UWP packages:

xmlns:iconPacks="using:MahApps.Metro.IconPacks"

IconPacks Browser

If you have no idea which icon you're supposed to take, then you can use the IconPacks Browser. You can search in every IconPacks and copy a raw Xaml code snippet to the clipboard.

You can download the latest version of the browser at the release page or directly here (a zipped pre-compiled .NET 4.5 executable).

WPF Sample

<Window x:Class="IconPacksTest.App"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:iconPacks="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/iconpacks"
        Title="IconPacks" Height="300" Width="300">

   <Grid>
     <iconPacks:PackIconMaterial Kind="EmoticonCool" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
   </Grid>

</Window>

UWP Sample

<Page x:Class="MahApps.Metro.IconPacks.Test.App.MainPage"
      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
      xmlns:iconPacks="using:MahApps.Metro.IconPacks"
      mc:Ignorable="d">

    <Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
        <iconPacks:PackIconFontAwesome Width="32"
                                       Height="32"
                                       HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                                       VerticalAlignment="Center"
                                       Kind="AddressBook" />
    </Grid>

</Page>

MarkupExtension (only for WPF)

A faster way to get a Button with an Icon is to use the MarkupExtension(s).

If you want e.g. a Button with an Icon of the PackIconFontAwesome then you can use this one:

<Button Content="{iconPacks:PackIconFontAwesome StarOutline}" />

It's also possible to change some properties of the icon itself like this:

<Button Content="{iconPacks:PackIconFontAwesome Spinner, Width=32, Height=32, Spin=True}" />

It's also possible to use a general (generic) MarkupExtension:

<Button Content="{iconPacks:PackIcon {x:Static iconPacks:PackIconMaterialKind.Cookie}, Width=32, Height=32}" />

You can use these MarkupExtensions for all controls with Content property which can accept other objects (Controls).

Properties

Property	Description
Kind	Gets or sets the icon to display. Each IconPack has it's own icon type and an enumeration for it.
Flip	Gets or sets the flip orientation. Possible values are Normal, Horizontal, Vertical or Both from the enumeration type PackIconFlipOrientation.
Rotation	Gets or sets the rotation (angle) of the inner icon. Possible values are 0-360.
Spin	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the inner icon is spinning (rotating) (true or false).
SpinDuration	Gets or sets the duration of the spinning animation (in seconds). This will also restart the spin animation and works only if Spin property is set to true.
SpinEasingFunction	Gets or sets the EasingFunction (IEasingFunction) of the spinning animation. This will also restart the spin animation and works only if Spin property is set to true.
SpinAutoReverse	Gets or sets the AutoReverse of the spinning animation. This will also restart the spin animation and works only if Spin property is set to true.
Control.Properties	All public properties of Control, e.g. Width and Height

Custom Styles

Sometimes it's necessary to change some properties for all used icon pack controls. All controls have styles which can be use for global changes or anything else.

For the MahApps.Metro.IconPacks you can e.g. create a custom resource dictionary (called here CustomIconPacksStyles.xaml) and add it to the App.xaml resource tag.

<Application x:Class="IconPacksTest.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <!-- some other resources -->
                
                <!-- your custom icon resource -->
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/IconPacksTest;component/Resources/CustomIconPacksStyles.xaml" />

            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

Here is the resource dictionary content for all IconPacks in this sample (for CustomIconPacksStyles.xaml).

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                    xmlns:iconPacks="http://metro.mahapps.com/winfx/xaml/iconpacks">

    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <!-- reference all necessary original resource dictionaries -->
        <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro.IconPacks;component/Themes/PackIconMaterial.xaml" />
        <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro.IconPacks;component/Themes/PackIconFontAwesome.xaml" />
        <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro.IconPacks;component/Themes/PackIconOcticons.xaml" />
        <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro.IconPacks;component/Themes/PackIconModern.xaml" />
        <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro.IconPacks;component/Themes/PackIconEntypo.xaml" />
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

    <!-- now make some global changes for the icon pack controls without using new keys -->

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type iconPacks:PackIconMaterial}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Metro.Styles.PackIconMaterial}">
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="32" />
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="32" />
    </Style>

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type iconPacks:PackIconFontAwesome}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Metro.Styles.PackIconFontAwesome}">
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="24" />
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="24" />
    </Style>

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type iconPacks:PackIconOcticons}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Metro.Styles.PackIconOcticons}">
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="48" />
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="48" />
    </Style>

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type iconPacks:PackIconModern}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Metro.Styles.PackIconModern}">
        <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" />
    </Style>

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type iconPacks:PackIconEntypo}" BasedOn="{StaticResource MahApps.Metro.Styles.PackIconEntypo}">
        <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center" />
        <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" />
    </Style>

</ResourceDictionary>

If you use the IconPack with all included icons you can also use this resource dictionary:

<ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro.IconPacks;component/Themes/IconPacks.xaml" />

Strong naming

If you need strong named dlls then you should use the Strong Namer from @dsplaisted. If this doesn't work then you can clone this repository and compile your own strongly named dlls.
