That’s exactly the line of thought, unfortunately. This is what Rodney, the g-i-t and icon-naming-utils maintainer said about the issue: On Mi, 2006-08-09 at 09:19 -0400, Rodney Dawes wrote: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/tango-artists/2006-August/000639.html [cut] Also, the GTK_STOCK_EDIT icon is an icon that is often inappropriately used, and I believe the metaphor is perhaps not too great. I think a better goal would be to look at what metaphor/icon would be best in the situations where GTK_STOCK_EDIT is currently being used, rather than simply making the current icon look a bit prettier. In the latter case, it will be "good enough" and other issues will be forgotten, while keeping it as it is now, will make the icon stick out, and make people want to fix it, like you want to do. However, I don't think simply replacing the icon is the proper fix here. --dobey [end-of-message] -- GTK default icons used in several places https://launchpad.net/bugs/60424 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
