Three Squares Icon
three-squares · Design Tools · 6 styles
Three Squares is one of the glyphs Solar Icons ships inside its Design Tools set. It is one of 29 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Three Squares lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "three-squares", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Read literally, the shape signals the idea of alignment, layers, colour picking and canvas manipulation. That places Three Squares in the Design Tools family, which covers alignment, layers, colour picking and canvas manipulation and turns up in editor toolbars, property panels, layer trees and inspector rails. Teams building design tools, page builders and no-code editors reach for this set first. Use Three Squares 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.
Three Squares in 6 styles
Three Squares 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.

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import ThreeSquaresBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/design-tools" 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 three-squares live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Three Squares icon FAQ
- How do I use the three-squares icon in Angular?
- Import ThreeSquaresBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/design-tools", register it with provideSolarIcons(ThreeSquaresBold) and render <solar-icon name="three-squares" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Three Squares support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of three-squares?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Three Squares inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
