Menu Dots Icon

menu-dots · Essentional Ui · 6 styles

Menu Dots is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Essentional Ui set. It is one of 139 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Menu Dots lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "menu-dots", and every style variant resolves from that single name.

Read literally, the shape signals menus and navigation drawers and an overflow or "more" menu. That places Menu Dots in the Essentional Ui family, which covers the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger and turns up in buttons, dialogs, toasts, form validation and empty states. Teams building literally every application, which is why it is the largest set here reach for this set first. Use Menu Dots where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.

Menu Dots in 6 styles

Menu Dots has been redrawn for 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

How to use the menu-dots icon in Angular

Every export is an isolated constant, so the bundler drops whatever you never mention. Import MenuDotsBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for menu-dots live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

typescript
import { MenuDotsBold, MenuDotsBoldDuotone, MenuDotsLinear, MenuDotsOutline, MenuDotsBroken, MenuDotsLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui';
typescript
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { MenuDotsBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui';
