Matias, I am still looking for some already created icons (unfortunately I do not have any skills in graphic design so cannot create anything).
Just to clarify the statement "The admonitions and arrows must match the current green style." Do you mean that all the icon's must be green? My opinion on this is that logical functions should be grouped together in the same colour scheme. I strongly believe that the admonitions should be different colours and have a different style. My reasoning for this is that they are supposed to suggest to the user that something important follows. The arrows can stay green though =p As I said I am still trying to find existing open source icons that may be useful. The below icons are from the Tango Icon Gallery (http://tinyurl.com/mj6kz) which I think could serve the purposes that we need: Next Page: http://tinyurl.com/28d6jq Previous Page: http://tinyurl.com/ytxn9c Head of Section: http://tinyurl.com/ys4hdb Front Page: http://tinyurl.com/yqc5l9 There is a slight problem with the Front Page Icon; it isn't green hopefully someone could colour this green or we could leave it a different colour to stand out? For the Admonitions I have tried to find Icons that are different shapes to more visually state what is going on: Note: (Magnifying Glass) http://tinyurl.com/yrmuvr Tip: (Light Globe) http://tinyurl.com/3xr2cu Important: (Red Triangle with Exclamation mark) http://tinyurl.com/2dleny Caution: (Red Circle with white horizontal line) http://tinyurl.com/2g2mkc Waring: (Red Hexagon with white cross) http://tinyurl.com/ysh9lu Each of these icons has an SVG file so we can resize the icon's if needed. What are everyone's thoughts?
