if I’d like to do something like this, this is a box with a surface inside and an icon inside the surface, sounds right?

I'd say the `Box` with a `Modifier.background()` is enough

nested surfaces are definitely overkill, if it can be made simply with primitives, do that. If it makes sense to componentize it, do that. :slightly_smiling_face:

And a little offtopic, ticketswap sounds a lot like my previous gig @ <https://lemonade.social/|lemonade.social>

It was a fun time there :slightly_smiling_face:

hehe, yes Ticketswap is definitely a fun place to be in, Amsterdam itself also

I worked with 2 devs from the Netherlands, one was ex Razer, other ex Amazon

Looks like a box, CircleShape clip, with an icon.

Or you could even recreate that icon using compose code.

I still keep mine as drawables personally :sweat_smile:

The icons, just tint them and all is good

What I'll do is store the resource IDs in an object

<@U691H4RA4> I work for RealPage now, under their smart building division/acquisition: STRATIS

It's smart home but for multifamily, so apartments, student housing, etc

well <@UN85K2RQR> the issue with that is that if I were to want to set the background for that box with the circleshape clip, and have it have an opacity of something for example, the icon inside is getting affected

```Box(
    modifier = modifier
        .clip(CircleShape)
        .size((size.width / 2).dp, (size.height / 2).dp)
        .background(color.copy(alpha = 0.12f))
) {
    Icon(
        painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.ic_sample_icon),
        modifier = modifier
            .size(size.width.dp, size.height.dp)
            .align(Alignment.Center),
        contentDescription = null
    )
}```

How is it affected, that shouldn't affect it :thinking_face:

yea……as I was writing i realized that this doesn’t make sense, yea something else is up
