Layers Icon

Q: When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for the panel in a design or slide editor that lists every shape in stacking order; and map style switchers that turn satellite, traffic and terrain overlays on and off. For a list view switch that shows 1 full width row per record, use the Lines Stack icon. For duplicating a slide, a shape or a page as an editable twin, use the Copy Add icon. For a parent and child tree of pages, teams or folders in a sidebar, use the Hierarchy icon.

Layers icon FAQ

What does this icon show?

Three stacked sheets in isometric view, for layer panels, stacking order and grouped content. Typical uses: layers panel toggle in a design tool, map layer switcher and bring forward or send back menu.

When should I use it instead of a similar icon?

Use it for:

Map style switchers that turn satellite, traffic and terrain overlays on and off

For a list view switch that shows 1 full width row per record, use the Lines Stack icon. For duplicating a slide, a shape or a page as an editable twin, use the Copy Add icon. For a parent and child tree of pages, teams or folders in a sidebar, use the Hierarchy 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?

Colors Square and Bezier Curve sit beside it in the same toolbar or menu. More from the same family and the Design set: Brush, Bucket, Bucket Square and Color Swatch.

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-26, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
