Circles Nine icon FAQ
What does this icon show?
Nine large circles packed tightly in a three by three grid, for app launchers, dense grid views and dot patterns. Typical uses: app launcher menu trigger, dense grid view toggle and decorative dot pattern accent.
When should I use it instead of a similar icon?
Use it for:
- The compact step of a view switch for avatar walls, packing 3 round tiles per row
- Collage and photo wall presets that place 9 round photo frames in 3 rows
For the app launcher in a product header that lists the company's other tools, use the Dots Grid icon. For a roomy avatar view with 2 large round tiles per row, use the Circles Four icon. For a dotted canvas background with wide gaps between the points, use the Dots Nine icon.
Which styles does it come in?
4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout. An animated variant also plays a short animation on hover, or whenever your code starts it.
How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?
Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.
What icons go well with it?
Icons from the same family and the Layout set: Circles Four, Circles Eclipse, Circles Overlap, Dots Nine, Grid Nine and Browser Swipe.
When was it added, and what was it called before?
It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026. It was previously named abstract-29, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
