Hi,

Konstantin, thank you for your very hard work. Icons look great ! However I
have to tell you that all current Kicad icons were very carefully reviewed
and update few months ago. To do so I spent a very large amount of time.

If you are interested in proposing new icons for KiCad it is best to do so
beginning from what is the last icon set. For instance the cvpcb icon as
well as the page layout editor icon you are proposing have been redrawn and
updated recently spending a big effort. As result the page layout editor
icon (as others) you are proposing is not better than the current one.

It would be great to have some coordination before pushing big changes like
this. In your email you are proposing 499 new icons !!! and I ensure you
that probably there is nobody with the time to review such a big change.

An other important aspect is documentation. We cant bug docs guys every 3
months with new icons, unless changes are minimal (e.g. icon improvements).
Since I am a doc guy too, I am quite sensitive on this point.

I appreciate your effort enormously and to make is worthwhile I'd like to
ask you to compare the icons you are proposing with the current ones and
push forward only what represent a very big improvement over the current
icon set. Doing this is very small groups.

If we do not coordinate ourself I am afraid some guy work will undo some
other guy work.

This is my 2c and I hope this is also the opinion of others.

Best regards
Fabrizio
