This is indeed a problem I also noticed, and one that should be solved soon. > 3/ Since XWiki is also a webapp development framework I think it would > be a good thing that it comes with a complete webapp icons set. > > Here's my +1. The main problems I see are: - The icons are only 16x16. Scaling them does not yield good results. - They are not comprehensive. I'm sure there are some icons that we need and which are not available in there. So, I'm not against using Silk icons (we already do in some places), but I don't think we should use it alone. We still need other icons, be they from Tango, Crystal or custom made. A better idea would be to try to define a guideline L&F, and whenever doing an application, try to reuse from the existing icons as much as possible, and to add icons from the same set when some icons are already available. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
