You can see what each icon means by running your mouse over it, but I don't think that's good enough.
Lex – yeah, an icon whose meaning you have to puzzle over is an icon that's not doing its job, graphically speaking.
updated to reflect the new 1.19.0 RC icons
I'd prefer to have the old icons back, but, if not possible, better contrast on the 1.19 ones would be at least an improvement – I can barely make them out.
I think the new 1.19 icons are too similar looking. It's harder (for me) to tell, at a glance, what is what. I think they should each be colored differently.. more distinct, somehow.
I'd also prefer to have the old icons back.. They were each so different, it was easy to tell what was what. Now I see a different blueish and yellowish icon with a dark red no sign, and I have to take a closer look at it to see what it is, instead of seeing an orange box, or a white paper, etc. at a quick glance. Maybe it's just how I think and work with things. Speaking for myself, I didn't have a problem with the old symbology, just the fact that the no-way circle-slash almost completely obscured them. They weren't working "at a glance" for me. The new ones are kind of spare in terms of discrimination – I see what you mean there, Ashrilyn, Though the new no-push is cute
Well, I am getting more used to the current icons. Even if they're here to stay, I guess that's all right.
I do agree about the no-can-do circle-slash signs needing to be more obvious. Their dark red seems to blend in too much with the dark gray of the menu bar. Re: Coyote "yeah, an icon whose meaning you have to puzzle over is an icon that's not doing its job, graphically speaking."
Apparently, that doesn't matter when it comes to the new build icons in Dazzle either. They're just going to slap a tooltip on it and be done with it |
