Hi all,

I don't know how feasible this would be, but IMHO it would be great if LO could use some of the systems icons. I don't know whether thats possible on Win or Mac OS, but on Linux, the systems icon could be used which would adapt to icon theme changes.

Hi everyone,
I've never made an icon set, and if we want to produce one, we need to
ensure that it is quality and consistent. We need an experienced icon
designer to coordinate this effort -- anyone up for that role?

Sorry for all this time since my last mail...

So I think we really should design a new icon set. The very first point is
to brainstorm do we really want the icon set to be bi-color based according
to Mirek proposal. Personnaly, I think yes, because it can help a lot a
basic user who don't know what icon he search, but know what it's for.

Then, I'm sure some people will hate that, so maybe we should also have to
decide ifthe actual way to change icon set (Tools>Options>display I suppose
(Outils>Options>Affichage in French) is enough. It's not difficult, but is
it enough discoverable ?

I would downplay icon customization, not because I want to force users into
a single icon set, but because sustaining a single icon set (or, rather,
four icon sets derived from a single one: dark, light, dark mono, and light
mono) will be much easier than sustaining several. If we're striving to
make a quality native LibreOffice for Android, we're going to have to make
an icon for just about every command in LibreOffice and the set will have
to be monochrome, to conform to Android's design guidelines. And if we
focus on a single icon set instead of four, we'll have one awesome icon set
instead of several mediocre ones.

To make icons conform to the design guidelines of a specific OS, we could
use this one set as the basis of a specific one -- add shadows, change
lighting, etc. It's much easier to work from mono- or di-chrome icon sets
than from complex, multicolored ones.

That said, I would prefer if icon themes were treated as extensions rather
than having a few sets hard-coded into LibreOffice with no obvious way to
add or remove them.

So Call for opinion and judgment : Say what you think about the idea !

i'm in.

regarding tools and formats, i think inkscape + svg is the best solution
for the reasons mentioned here:

Hi everyone,
I want to talk about making a new icon set, if people here are up for
it.
The icon set would be much simpler than the current one, all icons
utilizing only two colors. I'm bringing up the idea because I'd like to
modernize the icon set.
Here's the whiteboard:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Flat_icon_set .
Tell me if you'd be interested in working on this. If so, we'll need to
decide on how to proceed, what format to use, what resolutions to
develop,
how we could automate converstion of colors to get a light version of
the
set and high-contrast versions, etc.
