Re: [libreoffice-design] Opinions on new icons for the Start Center?

Hi Alex,

> Do you think they are polished enough for inclusion?

I'd say you're getting close... but the new icons are /not/ going to
be in 3.5 (as the deadline is today and I still have some issues).
Anyway, let's make 3.6's Tango theme the best so far.

For the next round please focus on the extension icon and its arrow –
I have put some work in a hopefully improved Open File icon (I did
copy the arrangement from the Gnome 3 icon set, yes) [1], and I
consider the other icons reasonably usable as I pushed them to 3.6 a
week ago. The only thing that will need to be changed later is the
arrow on the Add Templates icon (so that it looks the same as the one
in the Extension icon.

With that said, here are a few more things about the extension icon:
* don't put shadows on the border (they're going to be cut off on
export, obviously)
* respect the the 1 px outer border, 1 px inner border of the Tango
guidelines, gradients there are fine, though
* apropos gradients: you might want to add some gradients to your
icon, also puzzle pieces usually have some slightly glossy coating
[2], so some slight light reflections might add a lot to the
appearance.

Best regards,


Astron.
