Status: Colorize more network icons (16px-22px) #470
Conversation
Use full-color icons for more network icons (matching the previous colorization of the wifi icons). These icons match the rest of the color theme better and are easier to see in both light and dark themes. Remove grayscale network icons from the panel folder. Symbolic icons (which automatically recolorize) are now common so these grayscale icons should no longer be needed. In places where developers have chosen not to use symbolic icons, we shouldn't force the look. This also solves an issue where the grayscale icons were difficult to see with mixed light and dark themes (especially with per-app light and dark theme preferences becoming more common). Remove some empty `nm-` prefixed icons. These may have been used to hide the network type tags (3G, 4G, etc.), but that seems hacky and reduces information that the user might want. network-manager-applet provides these "badges", so removing them should allow the network-manager provided icons to be used. Fix some files not being the right size (ad-hoc was 20x22px). Fix issue where wifi icons were colored differently at different sizes. Fix issue where some wired network icons were different designs at different sizes.
They don't seem very beautiful... |
Do you mean the colorized icons in this PR or the network-manager project's badges (here)? If someone wants to work on a set of network-manager badges that would be fine. I personally have no interest in working on them (and I have no way of testing them or seeing what it looks like in action). |
Of course, the network-manager project's icons :) But I'm not sure that colorized icons look better than the old ones. On the other hand, there has been no discussion here (yet?)... P.S.
Don't you have any network manager? |
They are more consistent and should be more legible at least (unless someone is using a very specifically blue-colored panel 😛), the designs themselves are unchanged. Probably will start merging all these "colorize panel icon" PRs in the next few days. I guess if anything is wrong people will mention it then or after next release.
I don't have any cellular-based devices to test the emblems. |
