Hello list-mates,
As some of you may know, I've been working on making Oxygen icons available on Apache, and I would like to get some feedback.
Do you see any unrecognizable icons at http://www.javierllorente.com/tmp/ ?
The green arrow for the parent directory is illogically pointing right upwards. I'd suggest to mirror the image so it points left upwards instead. (Or take the icon from the crystal set - which is, well, not perfect, but at least quite clear.)
OK. I'll change it to see if it looks nice.
The icons for .ods and .odt don't seem to convey any meaning at all. Nothing I can recognize anyway (it's just a patch of gray).
I was thinking of using the same doc, ppt and xls icons for odf filetypes as well.
The icon for .pl might be some kind of animal, but I'm guessing. It could be anything else.
It's not very clear. It's a camel btw ;)
The icon for .torrent doesn't make me recognize anything.
I agree 100%. It could be a bookmark for instance. I have to find/create a replacement or leave it with the "blank" icon.
The rest is actually quite nice.
I want to make it easy to enable. Quoting from the README file included in the apache2-icons-oxygen package
[...] Is there a better way to do it?
Yes, it'd be much simpler if you provide a config file that is ready to be included in any virtual host. Just ship a config file containing the following:
/etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-oxygen.conf:
Alias /icons/ /usr/share/apache2/oxygen-icons/ <Directory /usr/share/apache2/oxygen-icons> Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort NameWidth=* AddIcon ... ...
Then as a user you'd only need to put one line into any vhost config:
Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-oxygen.conf
It's better also because no shipped config files need to be modified.
That's what I have. The thing is that, if you don't have virtual hosts or if you want to use the icons Apache-wide, you would have no other choice than modifying shipped config files (that's what I understand).
My idea is to make Apache's directory listing more beautiful. It's already part of the Apache Build Service project and if you like it, I could submit it to Factory.
The latest rpm packages are available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/javierllorente/
Build Service project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=apache2-icons- oxygen&project=home:javierllorente
I was also thinking about dropping apache2-icons-crystal unless someone likes Crystal icons.
Comments and suggestions are welcome!
Thanks for your feedback, -- Javier Llorente
