A .NET library providing a large collection of icon packs (Material Design, FontAwesome, Octicons, and more) as XAML controls, markup extensions, and converters for WPF and UWP applications. A companion project offers the same icons for Avalonia apps.

Use cases

• add icons to a WPF application
• use Material Design icons in XAML
• embed FontAwesome glyphs in a UWP app
• find an icon library for .NET desktop apps
• use Octicons in a Windows desktop UI
• render vector icons without image assets in WPF

When to choose

• building WPF, UWP, or Avalonia desktop apps in C#/.NET that need a wide variety of icons
• you want icons as XAML controls with markup extensions rather than image files
• you need multiple icon sets (Material, FontAwesome, Octicons, etc.) from one dependency

When to avoid

• building web, mobile, or non-.NET applications
• you only need a single icon as a static image file
• targeting platforms other than Windows for WPF/UWP (use the separate Avalonia packages for cross-platform)
