Global Styling

Adjusting icons can be done by using color, size and stroke width. To style all icons globally, you can either use CSS, or use a context provider.

We recommend using CSS for global styling, as it is the most straightforward way to achieve this. But using CSS prevents you from using props like size, color and strokeWidth on individual icons, since CSS specificity will override these props, to be able to use the props on individual ones you need to use the Lucide context provider.

Context Provider

For global styling using a context provider, you can use the LucideProvider component that is provided by the lucide-preact package.

import { LucideProvider, Home } from 'lucide-preact';

const App = () => (
  <LucideProvider
    color="red"
    size={48}
    strokeWidth={2}
  >
    <Home />
  </LucideProvider>
);

This will apply the color, size and strokeWidth props to all icons that are children of the LucideProvider.

Style by using CSS

Styling icons is easy to accomplish using CSS.

Every icon has a class attribute applied called lucide. This class name can be used in the CSS file to target all icons that are being used within the app.

• The color of the icons can be changed using the color CSS property.
• The size of the icons can be changed using width and height CSS properties.
• The stroke width of the icons can be changed using the stroke-width CSS property.

.lucide {
  /* Change this! */
  color: #ffadff;
  width: 48px;
  height: 48px;
  stroke-width: 1px;
}

.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  gap: 6px;
}

import {
  CakeSlice,
  Candy,
  Apple,
  Cookie,
  Martini,
  IceCream2,
  Sandwich,
  Wine,
  Dessert,
} from "lucide-preact";
import { h } from "preact";
import "./icon.css";

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="grid">
      <CakeSlice />
      <Candy />
      <Apple />
      <Cookie />
      <Martini />
      <IceCream2 />
      <Sandwich />
      <Wine />
      <Dessert />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Absolute stroke width

For global absolute stroke width styling the vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke CSS property can be applied to the children. This will keep the stroke-width the same size no matter the size of the icon. See absolute-stroke-width for more info.

::: sandpack {editorHeight=480 editorWidthPercentage=60 dependencies="lucide-preact"}

.lucide {
  width: 48px;
  height: 48px;
  stroke-width: 1.5;
}

.lucide * {
  vector-effect: non-scaling-stroke;
}

.grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
  gap: 6px;
}

import {
  TentTree,
  Caravan,
  FlameKindling,
  MountainSnow,
  Trees,
  Axe,
  Map,
  CloudMoon,
  Sparkles,
} from "lucide-preact";
import { h } from "preact";
import "./icon.css";

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="grid">
      <TentTree />
      <Caravan />
      <FlameKindling />
      <MountainSnow />
      <Trees />
      <Axe />
      <Map />
      <CloudMoon />
      <Sparkles />
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;
