Use the controls at the top of this page to preview pause_circle at any size and color, filled or outlined, and at any weight, grade or optical size, then copy the code. Here is what each setting does in your own Angular app.
Change the Pause Circle icon size
<mat-icon> is fixed at 24 × 24 px, so set width and height along with font-size or the Pause Circle glyph will overflow its box. Match opsz to the size for the crispest strokes.
<mat-icon class="pause-circle-icon">pause_circle</mat-icon>
.pause-circle-icon {
font-size: 40px;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
font-variation-settings: 'opsz' 40;
}Change the Pause Circle icon color
The icon is a font glyph, so it takes the CSS text color. Set color on the <mat-icon> or on a parent, or use a theme variable to follow light and dark mode.
.pause-circle-icon {
color: #1a73e8;
/* or follow your Material 3 theme */
color: var(--mat-sys-primary);
}Use the filled Pause Circle icon
Material Symbols draws pause_circle as an outline by default. Set the FILL axis to 1 for the solid version. It is the same icon name, so no extra font is needed.
.pause-circle-icon {
font-variation-settings: 'FILL' 1;
}Change the Pause Circle icon weight, grade and optical size
Weight (wght, 100 to 700) sets stroke thickness. Grade (GRAD, -25 to 200) fine-tunes thickness without changing size, for example -25 for light icons on dark backgrounds. Optical size (opsz, 20 to 48) adjusts detail for the size you display. Your font link must request these ranges, as below.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Material+Symbols+Outlined:opsz,wght,FILL,GRAD@20..48,100..700,0..1,-50..200&icon_names=pause_circle&display=block" />
.pause-circle-icon {
font-variation-settings: 'FILL' 0, 'wght' 300, 'GRAD' 0, 'opsz' 24;
}Pause Circle icon FAQ
- How do I change the color of the Pause Circle icon in Angular Material?
- Give the <mat-icon> a class and set the CSS color property, for example .pause-circle-icon { color: #1a73e8; }. The pause_circle icon is a font glyph, so any text color works, including theme variables such as var(--mat-sys-primary).
- How do I make the Pause Circle icon bigger?
- Set font-size, width and height together, for example font-size: 40px; width: 40px; height: 40px;. <mat-icon> has a fixed 24px box, so changing font-size alone makes the icon overflow.
- How do I get the filled Pause Circle icon?
- Keep <mat-icon>pause_circle</mat-icon> and set font-variation-settings: 'FILL' 1 in CSS. Material Symbols uses one name for both the outlined and filled Pause Circle icon.
- How do I make the Pause Circle icon thinner or bolder?
- Change the wght axis with font-variation-settings, from 'wght' 100 (thin) to 'wght' 700 (bold). Load the font with the full weight range, or the browser falls back to 400.
- Can I download the Pause Circle icon as an SVG?
- Yes. Pick a style, fill and weight in the preview above, then open the SVG tab to copy or download pause_circle.svg. Google publishes it under the Apache License 2.0, so it is free for commercial use.
