Impossible to change color of certain icons

[t1u1]

Consider for example this icon
https://github.com/tailwindlabs/heroicons/blob/01c786b0353c7e51b86bc903a329e81d7578333d/src/20/solid/arrow-top-right-on-square.svg?short_path=f4fb63a

This has a fill set on each path as well as a fill:none on the svg, which makes it impossible to override from outside the element.

See this https://play.tailwindcss.com/OtvqH20Tyb for an example. In the working version, I removed the fill attribute from the SVG and now it is picks up the fill style from the fill-primary class.

Hey!

This is because you are looking at the src files, the publish icons will use currentColor.

• heroicons package example: https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/20/solid/arrow-top-right-on-square.svg
• @heroicons/react package example: https://unpkg.com/browse/@heroicons/[email protected]/20/solid/ArrowTopRightOnSquareIcon.js
• @heroicons/vue package example: https://unpkg.com/browse/@heroicons/[email protected]/20/solid/ArrowTopRightOnSquareIcon.js

Even if you copy the SVG directly from the website you should get the correct SVG:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="currentColor" class="size-5">

Hope this helps!
