[xwiki-devs] Proposal for changing the icons theme into AWM app
Hi, At this moment, almost all the applications that we install with Extension Manager have a section that still displays Silk icons: - ADD NEW ENTRY <http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Menu/#AddNewEntry> - DELETE ALL ENTRIES <http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/AppWithinMinutes/DeleteApplication?appName=Menu&resolve=true&scope=entries&xredirect=%2Fxwiki%2Fbin%2Fview%2FMenu%2F> - EDIT APPLICATION <http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/AppWithinMinutes/CreateApplication?appName=Menu&resolve=true> - DELETE APPLICATION <http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/AppWithinMinutes/DeleteApplication?appName=Menu&resolve=true&xredirect=%2Fxwiki%2Fbin%2Fview%2FMenu%2F> My proposal is to change these *Silk icons* with *Font Awesome* icons, to keep the global Icon theme. What do you think about this change?

We need to use the current Icon Theme, http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Icon+Theme+Application , which can be based on Silk, Font Awesome or something else. The problem is that the Icon Theme is a bit limited, so you can't always find the icons you need. What icons from the Icon Theme do you propose to use? Thanks, Marius

+1 for the icon theme. Also, if there are icons missing and we can add them, +1 for that too :) Thanks, Eduard On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 12:57 PM, Marius Dumitru Florea < [email protected]> wrote:

+1 for Icon Theme. I propose these icons for both Silk and Font Awesome: add, delete, pencil, trash. Thanks, Manuel On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 10:24 AM, Eduard Moraru <[email protected]> wrote:

But the user will see the same icons in the content menu, just above. Wouldn't this cause confusion?

Just a small note here that since it is an API for icons, we need (or probably already have) a convention to follow when adding new names. The names should either focus on: 1) the actual graphic of the icon, and the theme's job would be to offer the same (type of) resource but with a different styling OR 2) the purpose of the icon will serve when it will be used, so the theme's job is to offer visual consistency where for the same action you have the same style/icons Not sure what we are doing right now, but personally I prefer option 2) since it`s not just about getting a "pencil" from the current icon theme, but it`s more valuable since it allows you to get *the* icon for *the* edit action. It basically eliminates the need to worry if you will use a pencil, a feather, a pen, etc. Plus, as mentioned, you will be consistent with other apps/UI. Thanks, Eduard P.S.: Sorry for the hijacking :)
, trash.
