## Legal
#### Icon Name
**Disclaimer**: All product names, trademarks, and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Icons are used for identification purposes only and do not imply endorsement.
Icons follow kebab-case formatting (all lowercase words separated by hyphens). For example, "Nextcloud Calendar" becomes `nextcloud-calendar`.
**License**: This project is available under the terms of the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file.
#### Formats
---
Icons are available in these formats:
- SVG
- PNG
- WEBP
*All icons are generated from the base SVG file. For more details, see the [Contribution Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).*
### Dark/Light Variants
Some icons may have very light or dark colors, which might reduce visibility on certain backgrounds. In such cases, a `-light` or `-dark` suffix is appended—for instance, "2fauth" becomes `2fauth-light`.
*More specifics are available in the [Contribution Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).*
### Downloading Icons
1. **Browse & Download:**
Visit [https://icons.homarr.dev](https://icons.homarr.dev) to easily view and download icons.
2. **Using the Browser:**
On the icons page ([ICONS.md](ICONS.md)), right-click any icon link and select "Save link as".
**Note:** Loading the icons page displays every icon in the repository, which may lead to high data usage, slow performance, or even browser crashes on less powerful devices. For faster access, use the direct links or download icons individually.
3. **Using the Terminal:**
Download icons via `curl` or `wget` by using the following structure:
```bash
curl -O https://<Base URL>/<Format>/<Name>.<Format>
