Icons & dashboard expansion

Recipe track for FluentIcons + stable dashboard layouts — feeds 2.65 and Gallery, not a new chart engine.

Strategy context: roadmap-strategy.md · Charts arc: charts-dashboard-arc.md · Friction: FL-009 (dashboard compose confusion)

Gallery: Dashboard · Iconography (FontIconPage) · Charts · examples/dashboard


Dashboard — stable six (product path)

Tile / card Stable control Icon (FluentIcons.*) Notes
KPI metric KpiTile Sync, Save, Clock, Important, Warning symbol + trendValues; severity tints
Time series ChartCard + LineChart LineChart / TrendingUp showArea replaces deferred AreaChart
Compare bars ChartCard + BarChart BarChartHorizontal No WebGL
Share / mix ChartCard + DonutChart PieSingle / Bullseye Stable six only
Headline % RingGauge in ChartCard SpeedHigh / Gauge Not Tank/Thermometer in product
Filter rail TwoPaneView Filter Breakpoint 720 — charts.md 2.22

Deferred (Gallery only): TankGauge, ThermometerGauge, Sparkline, sibling charts — charts.md defer table (2.08).


Icon semantics for dashboards

Severity / state Prefer symbol On control
Healthy / OK CheckMark, CompletedSolid KpiTile footer or InfoBadge
Warning Warning, Important KpiTile cautionThreshold
Critical ErrorBadge, StatusErrorFull KpiTile criticalThreshold
Live / streaming Sync, Play KPI badge text + icon
Navigation to detail ChevronRight, OpenInNewWindow ChartCard footer button

Rules: icons.md — named FluentIcons.*, Theme.fontFamilyIcon, icon-only needs accessibleName / toolTipText.

Named aliases: CheckMark, LineChart, BarChartHorizontal, SpeedHigh, Ringer, Temperature, StatusErrorFull, etc. — registered in FluentIcons.cpp for dashboard search (WinSymbols subset; horizontal bar shares vertical glyph when codepoint absent).


Page Add / keep
Dashboard KPI row with varied symbols; ChartCard.symbol on each card; status icon strip; link Iconography
FontIconPage “Dashboard KPI icons” preset row; filter tags dashboard / kpi
Charts Compose recipes unchanged — cross-link dashboard stable six
RecipesHub Icons + Dashboard row

Roadmap slices

Slice Icons & dashboard deliverable
2.22 Responsive dashboard layout (shipped)
2.26 Charts recipe wave (shipped)
2.39 Gallery findability includes Dashboard (shipped)
2.48 Compose decision tree closes FL-009 partial — dashboard-compose-decision.md
2.65 Wave A product wave — stable six APIs + DashboardShell + Gallery/example v2 — charts-dashboard-arc.md
2.52 Minimal DashboardShell in “first app in an hour”
2.51 Gallery badges: experimental gauges vs stable KpiTile

App checklist

  • [ ] KPI row uses KpiTile + named symbols — not raw \uE…
  • [ ] Chart cards set ChartCard.symbol for scanability
  • [ ] Product dashboards use stable six only
  • [ ] Deferred gauges only in internal tools / Gallery demos
  • [ ] Breakpoints: KPI 700, charts 900, filter rail 720
  • [ ] Icon-only drill-down buttons have names

Out: WebGL; unconditional new stable chart types without friction row; Hub controls; Lottie icon pipeline.
