Using Bootstrap Icons vs Custom SVG
Bootstrap Icons is an official companion icon library distributed as individual SVG files or an icon font, designed to visually match Bootstrap's default design language out of the box, while custom SVG icons work equally well in a Bootstrap project as long as they're styled with Bootstrap's existing text-color and sizing utility classes for visual consistency.
- Bootstrap Icons matches Bootstrap's default design language automatically
- Custom SVGs work fine alongside it when styled with matching utilities
- Both approaches can coexist in the same project without conflict
Styling SVG Color and Size with Bootstrap Utilities
Setting fill="currentColor" on an inline SVG lets Bootstrap's text-* color utility classes control icon color, while Bootstrap's sizing utilities or simple inline width/height attributes control icon dimensions, keeping icon styling consistent with the rest of a Bootstrap-based interface's utility class conventions.
- fill="currentColor" lets Bootstrap's text-* classes control icon color
- Standard width/height attributes or utilities control icon dimensions
- Keeps icon styling consistent with the rest of the Bootstrap utility system
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Bootstrap Icons or a different icon library in a Bootstrap project?
Bootstrap Icons is a safe default choice since it's designed to match Bootstrap's visual style precisely, but any well-formed SVG icon set works fine as long as it's styled consistently with the rest of the interface.
Can Bootstrap's dark mode toggle recolor SVG icons automatically?
Yes, if icons use fill="currentColor" or reference Bootstrap's CSS custom properties for color, Bootstrap's built-in color-mode switching will recolor them automatically along with the rest of the theme.
