Source artwork and implementation
A gear is a familiar entry point to configuration. It can apply to an entire application or to a specific item in a list.
Use it in an interface
Name the scope, such as “Website settings”. Avoid adding an unlabeled gear beside every row when a clear action menu would be easier to understand.
The mdi:settings-outline source has 1 SVG path element and a 24 × 24 coordinate system. Its source does not declare a stroke attribute in the drawing markup; do not assume adding a stroke will preserve its appearance. The preview preserves the source proportions.
This name is a source alias of cog-outline. Source transforms are applied to the preview and SVG download. Alias names are included in searchable entry counts.
Embed the original SVG as an image
This example reserves a 24-pixel box. It uses an empty alternative because visible text must convey the meaning alongside a decorative icon. For an informative standalone image, replace the empty alternative with a useful description.
<img src="/icon-file.php?prefix=mdi&name=settings-outline" width="24" height="24" alt="">An SVG loaded through an image element does not inherit the surrounding page’s CSS color. To recolor it, export a customized version or use a reviewed inline SVG. Compare inline SVG and image coloring.
Check before shipping
- Preview Settings Outline at the actual display size, especially if your output differs from its 24 × 24 source grid.
- Give interactive controls an action label rather than relying on the file name.
- Retain the Apache 2.0 license notices required by the original source terms.
