Icons

Central Icons in two stroke geometries, and the 16px IconBox that keeps a glyph on the grid

Nyte draws every glyph from Central Icons. Two packages are installed, aliased to the same import name in different workspaces:

Alias	Package	Used by
`central-icons`	`@central-icons-react/round-outlined-radius-1-stroke-1.5`	`@nyte-ai/ui`, docs
`central-icons-desktop`	`@central-icons-react/round-outlined-radius-2-stroke-1.5`	desktop

Both are round-outlined at stroke 1.5. The desktop set has the larger corner radius, which reads better at the desktop's slightly heavier weight (the desktop thickens icons to 1.875 units in its global CSS). Do not mix the two sets on one surface.

Central Icons requires a license key at install time (CENTRAL_LICENSE_KEY). The build fails without it, so the key is part of the environment contract, not an optional dependency.

Usage

import { IconPlusSmall } from "central-icons";

<Button size="icon-sm" aria-label="Add">
  <IconPlusSmall size={14} />
</Button>;

An icon-only control must carry aria-label. The glyph is decorative.
Decorative icons beside text are hidden from assistive tech. IconBox does this by default.
Sizes are 12 or 14 inside controls. A 16px box holds either.

IconBox

packages/ui/src/components/ui/icon-box.tsx is an internal helper, not exported from the package index, used by the dropdown menu's indicators. It is documented because a new wrapper that places a glyph should use it rather than re-deriving the box.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`children`	`ReactElement<{ size?: number }>`		One icon element; `size` is overwritten with `glyphSize`.
`glyphSize`	`12 \| 14`	`14`	Rendered glyph size inside the 16px box.
`aria-hidden`	`boolean`	`true`	Decorative by default.
`xstyle`	`XStyle`		StyleX override.

It renders an inline-grid 16×16 span with place-items: center and line-height: 0, and sets data-slot="icon-box".

Desktop icons

The desktop wraps its set behind desktop/src/renderer/src/components/icons.tsx (Icon, IconName) and adds file-type-icon.tsx for file rows. See Desktop › Icons.
