[Bug 486786] New: Add, Edit & friends icons for YaST modules
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486786 Summary: Add, Edit & friends icons for YaST modules Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: jimmac@novell.com ReportedBy: kmachalkova@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: aschnell@novell.com Found By: Development Created an attachment (id=280583) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=280583) Example usage of icons in partitioner For the use in push-buttons and context menus, can we please have these icons added to yast2-theme ? * Add (for general use) * Edit (dtto) * Delete (dtto) * Resize (for partitioner, e.g. resize partition) Please have a look at attached picture for example usage of these icons. I stole those from Windows Vista 8-) http://www.vistaicons.com/ but they don't go so well with the rest of YaST artwork. 22x22 size will do (those in the pic are 24x24).

The benefit of using stock icons is that those are themeable. I would prefer not to turn yast into a generic theme distribution. Also I'm really against the overuse of icons in the menus. Having every item in a menu have an icon makes the menu look very busy. It is beneficial to add an icon for a very commonly used action, but having an icon for every item is just adding visual noise. In the case of the menu you describe, I'd only have an icon next to the 'add' item. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is about menu icons. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The bug you link to deals with icons in buttons. This is about menu icons.
Actually it is about both. The same set of icons in the pic from comment #0 is used in the buttons and then recycled in the menu. There are some generic action icons in oxygen theme,but only 'add' and 'delete' could be easily used here. I wasn't able to find any suitable icon for generic 'edit' (as just about anything can be edited in YaST e.g. partition, network device, printer,...), not to mention 'resize' - that is partitioner-specific. Yeah, if we were creating text editor or mail/chat client, there would be bunch of icons to choose from and to re-use :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The good rule of thumb is not using any icon where a clear and obvious metaphor cannot be constructed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
