Hello,
the following patch does the following:
- fix spacing between app icons in kicad right bar
- several .svg icons were update (better look and coherence)
- hotkey list window now has the right colour and better size (it
would be good to automatically resize this window with its content but
I do not know how to do it)
- fix kicad left menu spacing and icon size (now 26pt)
Not 100 % sure if this will create a problem for other OSs but I would
propose to consider deleting the following folders:
- artwork
- bitmaps_xpm
and maybe:
- resources
Regards
Fabrizio
PS all icons need to be rebuilt (sorry for this but when I start
modifying .svg files it is not easy, for me, to be smarter than CMake)
Some thoughts:
2 kicad icons ( icon_kicad.svg and icon_kicad2.svg ) are confusing.
One is enough.
Remove icon_kicad.svg and keep new icon_kicad2.svg is better
Do not forget to rename icon_kicad2.svg to icon_kicad.svg.
icon_kicad2.svg is better because it is more readable in 16x16 or
32x32 pixels formats,
i.e. when this icon appears in menus or task bar.
artwork is now not needed, but I am thinking it is used by MacOSX folks.
So I ask for them to remove this folder and use new .svg icons.
The folder artwork was created by me and can be removed, but the icns
(mac icon files) in the application folders should be left alone.
bitmaps_xpm contains "old" icons.
Before removing it, the Kicad doc must be updated, and it is a lot of
work.
(otherwise it is not understandable if we use new icons in a stable
release,
and the current doc, at least for new users)
An it will be updated only when new icons are stable.
Maybe there is a option to fully move all the kicad documentation to
wikibooks (wikipedia books) because it is more distributed and you don't
need a editor except for a webbrowser. And you can create a nice PDF out
of it. And is far more consisted than all those ugly word-processor
templates. Just my 2uF.
In Eeschema, the icon used for annotation tool is not self explanatory.
Can you create a better icon ( like the netlist icon for instance) ?
The icon used to add an image in Eeschema is not good (I am not clever
to do icons).
Can you create a better icon ?
Thanks.
I appreciate all your time and effort guys!
