Anyway, we will have to design a monochrom icon set. So it's good making android viewer one first, and to see, then, whether it can adapt to desktop, because it follow TDF plans and it permit a first feedback on the icons. > > As for active vs. disabled icons, Android has > guidelines<http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html>for > this: 30% opacity for disabled icons, light or dark. > > To truly achieve good quality, though, we need someone experienced to > coordinate the project.
