Many APEX components will automatically use the large or small icons based on the context (such as Template Options), so all you need to do is focus on the icon you want. Large icons are based on a 32x32 grid and well suited for places where you need to provide a larger graphic, such as cards, media lists, and hero regions. Small icons are based on a 16x16 grid and ideally suited for buttons and menus. There are now two families of icons in Font APEX: small and large. We wanted to make it a seamless switch to go from Font Awesome to Font APEX, and therefore use the same 'fa' prefix for the icons, making it easier than ever to move to entirely new icon library.įont APEX 2 expands upon the original Font APEX by providing the complete set of Font APEX icons at a larger size. It was originally designed as a replacement for Font Awesome 4.*, the web's leading icon library, and therefore contains almost all of the Font Awesome icons, re-drawn originally on a 16x16 grid as line-icons. Font APEX is the icon library for Oracle APEX and Universal Theme.
