Menu Bars icon FAQ
What does this icon show?
Three centered horizontal lines with a shorter middle line, for menu buttons, navigation toggles and drawers. Typical uses: mobile header menu button, open a navigation drawer and toggle the app sidebar.
When should I use it instead of a similar icon?
Use it for:
- The trigger beside the logo in a marketing site header on phones, where header buttons have no frame
- The leading navigation button in a mobile top app bar, ahead of the screen title
For centered paragraph copy in a document editor's formatting bar, use the Align Center icon. For collapsing a desktop sidebar that stays docked beside the page, use the Panel Left icon. For a trigger in a toolbar whose other buttons sit in rounded square tiles, use the Menu 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.
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: Burger Menu, Menu, Menu Align, Menu Arrow, Menu Circle and Chart Bars Ascending.
When was it added, and what was it called before?
It joined the ReUI icon library on June 30, 2026. It was previously named burger-menu-5, and that install name still resolves to this icon.
