--- Comment #3 from Jens Reuterberg <jens...@kolabnow.com> ---
So looking around this bug using Cuttlefish there are some really easy fixes 

Textfield:
replacing the tool-text icon with the draw-text icon would fix for example the
"text" symbol in Kolourpaint as it actually as a large T in it or better yet
something like xml-text-new, the icon Kolourpaint uses is inherited from
document editors which isn't ideal for a drawing app since there you don't
really automatically assume its going to be "text" there)

To moderately complex ones

Selection Symbols:
Improving sizeing of the lassoo symbol in tool_free_form_selection with its too
narrow dots that blend together. bigger dots to emphasize it COMBINED with
adding dots to the selections fields in tool_elliptical_selection and
select-rectangular icons would make it more clear that, yes this is selection -
the dotted border is basically shorthand for it anyway so might be worth while
in general.
(select-rectangular should be looked into a bit more, the added complexity with
the pen is not useful in most scenarios and could be replaced with a dotted
rectangle and the handles (like tool_elliptical_selection))

Polygon:
The polygon symbol is filled in, the circle, the square and the rounder corners
square (which should be slightly more square in my eyes to be readable) are not
making them look unrelated. Swapping the polygon one for the "connected lines
one" would make them look related and make more sense over all

Connected Lines:
This needs a completely new icon, preferrably based off of "Curve" - something
like lines-connector might work but with more "zigzag" to it.

'
The the damn fiddly things...

Zoom:
We need a better zoom symbol language or at least some kind of fallback for
simpler applications - the current ones we have are made for professional apps
and often miss the mark even if they are relevant and critical in those apps. A
simple "search" symbol with a plus connected as per icon specs would fit
nicely.

(this is a bigger issue as the dotted lines appear in many zoom icons which
makes sense based on what apps they where made for but as those icons are often
fairly wide in range they tend to be used badly and looking at replacing zoom
might be worth while)

I think color selector (the drop) should stay as that is used in a lot of
different apps and work as intended there. It's a skip and a jump for new users
who use Kolourpaint perhaps but not that complex
