Usage

In order to make use of the .Net Maui Icons - Segoe Fluent you can use the below namespace:

Xaml

xmlns:mi="http://www.aathifmahir.com/dotnet/2022/maui/icons"

C#

using MauiIcons.SegoeFluent;

Advanced Settings

You can set the default icon size, font override, and default font auto-scaling using the UseMauiIconsCore builder extension as follows:

builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x => 
{
	x.SetDefaultIconSize(30.0);
	x.SetDefaultFontOverride(true);
	x.SetDefaultFontAutoScaling(true);
})

Workaround

if you came across this issue dotnet/maui#7503 when using new namespace, Make sure to create an discarded instance of MauiIcon in the codebehind like below

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        // Temporary Workaround for url styled namespace in xaml
        _ = new MauiIcon();
    }

Built in Control Usage

Xaml

<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:SegoeFluent Mail}"/>

C#

new MauiIcon() {Icon = SegoeFluent.GlobalNavButton, IconColor = Colors.Green};

new MauiIcon().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.People).IconColor(Colors.Purple);

All the Properties and Features of Built in Control, Check Here

Xaml Extension Usage

<Image Aspect="Center" mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=People}"/>

<Button mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=Mail}"/>

<ImageButton mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=Share}"/>

C# Markup Usage

new ImageButton().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.People),

new Image().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.Mail),

new Button().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.Share).IconSize(40.0).IconColor(Colors.Red)

Disclaimer: It's important to note that not all controls are compatible with C# markup. We have conducted tests with the following controls in the current release: Label, Image, ImageButton, SearchBar, Editor, and Entry. Additionally, the native MauiIcon control, when combined with C# markup, can prove to be quite versatile and offer extra features for various scenarios.

Applying Icon To Text or Placeholder

Controls that Supports Placeholder, Can Assign the Icon To PlaceHolder or Text, Defaults to Placeholder but can be set to Text by Setting TargetName Parameter to Text

xaml

<Entry mi:MauiIcon.Value="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=Share, TargetName='Text'}"/>

<SearchBar mi:MauiIcon.Value="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=Mail, TargetName='Placeholder'}"/>

c#

new Entry().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.Share, targetName: "Text").IconSize(20.0).IconColor(Colors.Aqua);

new SearchBar().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.Mail, targetName: "Placeholder");

Disclaimer: It's important to note that we are Overriding Font on Input Control to Set the Icon that Could Cause Unexpected Behaviors and Rendering Issues as well.

OnPlatform and OnIdiom Usage

Xaml

<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:SegoeFluent People}" OnPlatforms="WinUI, Android, MacCatalyst"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:SegoeFluent Mail}" OnIdioms="Desktop, Phone, Tablet"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:SegoeFluent Favicon}" OnPlatforms="Android" OnIdioms="Phone"/>

C#

new MauiIcon().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.People).OnPlatforms(new List<string>{"WinUI", "Android"});
new MauiIcon().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.Mail).OnIdioms(new List<string>{"Desktop", "Phone"});
new MauiIcon().Icon(SegoeFluentIcons.Favicon).OnPlatforms(new List<string>{"WinUI", "Android"}).OnIdioms(new List<string>{"Desktop", "Phone"});

Breaking Changes

Version 3 to 4

• Icon won't be applied to the Controls like Entry, SearchBar and etc.. by default Instead v4 would throw an Exception, Need to set FontOverride to true to apply the Icon to these Controls on Builder Extension Level or Control Level
  • This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new UseMauiIconsCore Builder Extension and using SetDefaultFontOverride Method like Below

	builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x => 
	{
		x.SetDefaultFontOverride(true);
	})

• Icon Size is Now Set to Control's FontSize by Default, Previously it was set to 30.0 by Default
  • This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new UseMauiIconsCore Builder Extension and using SetDefaultIconSize Method like Below

	builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x => 
	{
		x.SetDefaultIconSize(30.0);
	})

Version 2 to 3

• Removal of TypeArgument and Built in OnPlatform and OnIdiom Support, Use MauiIcons Integrated OnPlatform and OnIdioms Feature
• Removal of Dotnet 7 Support

Version 1 to 2

Old (v1)

xmlns:SegoeFluent="clr-namespace:MauiIcons.SegoeFluent;assembly=MauiIcons.SegoeFluent"

<SegoeFluent:MauiIcon Icon="Mail"/>

New (v2)

xmlns:mi="http://www.aathifmahir.com/dotnet/2022/maui/icons"

<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:SegoeFluent Mail}"/>

New Changes in v4

1. We have a new way of Assigning/Setting Icons, Introducing New Attached Property for Icons, The new AttachedProperty Brings in Support for Triggers, Behaviors, Styles, etc.. which is lacking on Classic Xaml Markup Extension, and also it's more cleaner and readable

/// Old
<Image Aspect="Center" Source="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=Share}"/>

// New
<Image Aspect="Center" mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=Share}"/>

Disclaimer: The Old Xaml Markup Extension is still Supported and can be used, but it's recommended to use the new Attached Property for better support and readability and we have plans to deprecate the old Xaml Markup Extension in the future in favor of Attached Property

Example of Using Styles

<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
       <Setter Property="mi:MauiIcon.Value" Value="{mi:SegoeFluent Icon=Favicon}" />
</Style>

<Button Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}"/>

2. Introducing New UseMauiIconsCore Builder Extension for Setting Default Icon Size, Font Override, Default Font Auto Scaling and etc..
3. Improved Built in OnPlatforms and OnIdioms with Binding Improvements and Enhanced Performance
4. New OnClickAnimation Support for MauiIcon Control
