BoldifyIcon

BoldifyIcon is a drop-in replacement for Flutter’s built-in Icon widget,
with one key extra feature: fontWeight — allowing you to make any font-based icon bold.

If you’ve ever wanted your icons to match bold text, stand out more in the UI,
or simply have a stronger visual presence, BoldifyIcon makes it easy.

---

✨ Key Feature

• fontWeight – Set a heavier font weight to make the icon look bold.
  Works with any font-based icon, including Flutter’s default Material icons and variable fonts.
  Example:
  • FontWeight.normal → standard stroke thickness.
  • FontWeight.bold or FontWeight.w900 → bold, strong-looking icons.

📦 Installation

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  boldify_icon: 

🔧 Parameters

BoldifyIcon accepts all the same parameters as Flutter’s built-in Icon widget,
plus the new 🚀 fontWeight property for controlling icon boldness.

Parameter	Type	Description
icon	IconData?	The icon to display.
size	double?	The size of the icon in logical pixels.
fontWeight 🔥	FontWeight?	✨ Extra parameter — controls stroke thickness; heavier values make the icon bold.
fill	double?	For variable fonts: 0.0 = outline, 1.0 = filled.
weight	double?	Variable font stroke weight.
grade	double?	Fine-tunes stroke thickness for variable fonts.
opticalSize	double?	Optical size adjustment for variable fonts.
color	Color?	Icon color.
shadows	List<Shadow>?	Shadows behind the icon.
blendMode	BlendMode?	Blend mode for custom rendering effects.
semanticLabel	String?	Screen reader label.
textDirection	TextDirection?	Text direction (LTR or RTL).
applyTextScaling	bool?	Scale icon with text size.

💡 Why use BoldifyIcon instead of Icon?

With Flutter’s default Icon widget, you can’t change the font weight —
all icons render at the font’s default stroke thickness.

BoldifyIcon unlocks that control, letting you:

• Match icons with bold text for visual harmony in your UI.
• Increase icon visibility for better accessibility and emphasis.
• Create a stronger, bolder look without replacing assets or using custom icon sets.
