Dots Nine icon FAQ
What does this icon show?
Nine small dots in a widely spaced three by three grid, for app launchers, dot pattern accents and grid toggles. Typical uses: app launcher trigger, dot pattern accent in a hero and grid density toggle.
When should I use it instead of a similar icon?
Use it for:
- Dot grid backgrounds in whiteboard, diagram and slide canvas editors, set from the view menu
- Unlock pattern setup in phone security settings, traced across 9 spaced points
For the app launcher in a product header that lists the company's other tools, use the Dots Grid icon. For a dense thumbnail view in a photo or file browser, use the Grid Nine icon. For a compact avatar wall packing round tiles 3 to a row, use the Circles 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?
Maximize and Panel Left sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Layout set: Circles Nine, Grid Nine, Browser Swipe and Burger Menu.
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-30, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
