increase md-icon size inside md-menu

Question

I'm writing the client side of my web site in angularjs 1.5.0 with angular-material.

I want to have a button that opens a popup menu. the problem that i've been having is that the icon appears really small and i don't know how to increase it's size.

this is the $mdIconProvider configuration:

app.config(function($mdIconProvider) {
    // Configure URLs for icons specified by [set:]id.
    $mdIconProvider
        .icon('menu', 'svg/menu.svg');
});

and this is the code for the menu icon and the popup menu:

<md-menu id="mainmenu" md-position-mode="target-right target">
<md-button aria-label="Open demo menu" class="md-icon-button" ng-click="$mdOpenMenu($event)">
    <md-icon md-menu-origin md-svg-icon="menu"></md-icon>
</md-button>
<md-menu-content width="4">
    <md-menu-item>
       <md-button ng-click="changePage('/')">
            <div layout="row">
                <p flex>Home</p>
                <md-icon md-menu-align-target md-svg-icon="svg/home.svg" style="margin: auto 3px auto 0;"></md-icon>
            </div>
        </md-button>
        </md-menu-item>
            <md-menu-item ng-show="!isAuthenticated()">
       <md-button ng-click="changePage('/login')">
            <div layout="row">
                <p flex>Login</p>
                <md-icon md-menu-align-target md-svg-icon="svg/home.svg" style="margin: auto 3px auto 0;"></md-icon>
            </div>
        </md-button>
        </md-menu-item>

      <md-menu-item ng-show="isAuthenticated()">
        <md-button ng-click="changePage('inventory')">
            <div layout="row">
                <p flex>Inventory</p>
                <md-icon md-menu-align-target md-svg-icon="svg/inventory.svg" style="margin: auto 3px auto 0;"></md-icon>
            </div>

    <md-menu-item ng-show="isAuthenticated()">
        <md-button ng-click="changePage('logout')">

                <md-icon md-menu-align-target md-svg-icon="svg/logout.svg" style="margin: auto 3px auto 0;"></md-icon>
            </div>
        </md-button>
    </md-menu-item>
</md-menu-content>
</md-menu>

so.... how do I increase the md-icon size ?

Answer 1

you need to provide height and width in css or apply this setting or this

Answer 2

I believe there are built in md-xx classes that will allow you to size an icon, e.g md-48.
