Hi everybody,

Currently I'm working on some few issues concerning icons.

Proposal for "Saving Information" icons in Statusbar

My fisrt email about this issue is last February dated. But recently I received some most special feedback, then I resume this issue.

First iteration:
Feedback:
  • Style 1 with 3th symbol (upper right) is the best option. [1] [2]
  • Orange is a good choice for indicating "new", since yellow would be hard to eyes. [1] [2]
  • Smaller size (14x11px) fits better to the statusbar's size. [1] [2] 
  • A new version is proposed to match the page's zoom icons style in statusbar. [2]

Second iteration:

Here I'm keeping just the previous Style 1, with 2th and 3th symbols and a different outline. A document symbol's version with gradients is included. The Styles 1 and 2 are 9px large (matching the page's zoom icon), otherwise the 3 and 4, 10px large.
Feedback:
  • 10px large seems better. [1]
  • It should keep the differences to other icons. [1]
  • Transparency for the normal icon is proposed to keep the "status" look 'n feel. [1]

Third iteration:

Here stays just the third style, the transparency proposal is included, as well some improvements on the asterisk symbol. It also includes a new icon proposal to give feedback of saving completion. The idea is an icon showed while few seconds after the saving completion to give a little feedback to users.
I'm still waiting for feedback. ;-)


Mimetype icons to LibreOffice's toolbar

The problem seems to be the fact of mimetype icons don't match to other icons in LibreOffice's toolbar. So I made a Tango style version of them. So Bernhard give some good feedback on it, concerning on the no-shadow choice and size. Based on it, I made more 2 versions.

In above image you can see the
a) proposal 1 with Tango style icons and floor's shadows,
b) proposal 2 with Galaxy style icons without shadows,
c) proposal 3 with Galaxy style icons and 1px bottom shadow.

I'm still waiting for feedback. ;-)

To switch between Tango and Galaxy icons (and Small and Big sizes), just go to Tools -> Options -> View -> Icon size and style.

  1. The symbols are too small. I hope you make the bigger once the overall ui improvement is done!
