Quick ping,

Do we need something like an emblem-buddy.svg for ad-hoc network  
icons
(e.g. an XO icon used in same way as the star and lock icon are  
used
to badge AP icons)? Sorry couldn't find a trac ticket or the  
right ML
thread.

Yeah, I think we settled on a badged AP icon. If you have  
something in
mind - please share it with us ;p

OK :-) Just tested the buddy icon pretty much as is for an emblem,  
but it
doesn't quite ring true (feels too fussy). Here's a few screen shots:

So taking a leaf out of the emblem-locked style and came up with  
what I
think is a much better emblem using a box outline and solid stroke  
colour
for the buddy icon:

Yup. I would definitely recommend the (unstroked, as you show it) XO
icon within the box, as well. The badge feels just a little high in
your mockups (it should be at a 45 degree angle from center, and
positioned so that the lower-right corner falls outside the 55px
recommended icon region, at (70,70)), but that's just an issue of
defining the hotspot correctly.

I copied the existing emblem-locked.svg positioning without falter, so  
assume this is the emblem placing code that's a little off (unless  
emblem-locked is wrong).

Also, all bages are supposed to be
black fills with white strokes (and white symbols within the box, eg.
the XO itself). I think that never happened because entity support was
never added for badges.

Oh, OK. So black box (white stroke?) with white buddy icon (in this  
example) is the intention?

<<inline: version3_1.png>><<inline: version3_2.png>><<inline: version3_3.png>><<inline: version3_4.png>>
Does someone know how to add that so we can fix the badges up?
Alternatively, does someone want to update all of the default SVGs for
the badges so that they use the correct colors without use of
entities?

Well the one's I've looked at have &stroke_color and &fill_color so it  
could just be a simple code change I guess (above screen shot was  
taken just by changing stroke to white, and fill to black). But I can  
do that in each of the emblem-*.svg if that's all that is needed, and  
is easier for core devs?

Thanks Gary! (For the mockups, that is; I'm not volunteering you for
the above task).

Hey, no problem, I've been volunteered for far worse things ;-)
