Re: [Ayatana] Simplifying the actions icons.



I don't see how going ahead and doing it would hurt. The worst that could happen is that the set isn't accepted as a default, and there's another nice option for users to install if they want. I'd like to see what you come up with.

I recommend keeping a distinct shape for each icon. This is one of my least favorite things about Faenza; all of the icons have the same shape.

Hello,

I believe the actions icons are too colourful and have way too much detail. They should be more simple, clean, utilitarian. The new software center in oneiric already uses monochrome actions icons. I know that SABDFL already said something about getting a design school involved in redoing the icons. I was wondering if there would be any support if I went ahead and redid just the actions icons? I have some experience. (islingt0ner.deviantart.com)

what I mean is would such a project be beneficial? I have actually already started work on it, but was wondering whether its worth finishing? here is what I started yesterday: http://i.imgur.com/N7CLX.png

The 'go' and 'arrows' are the headings of the name so for example go-next or arrow-left.


I would ofcourse work with any crtique, concerns. I just dont want to be one of those designers that is like, "here I made this, put it in." If there is a desire for such a project inside Ubuntu, then I want to work with people, you know?

Love & Respect & profusely apologetic if this is the wrong list,
