People recognize icons quickly by their silhouettes. This is already pretty hard with the existing KiCad icon set, and you're making it harder, by making so many icons into a "symbol on top of paper". I agree that the icons need work, but we've got to keep good UI design practices in mind while doing it.
Can you do them in a way that makes them *more* individually distinctive? -- Chris On Mon, May 04, 2015 at 08:42:05PM +0200, Fabrizio Tappero wrote:
Hello, I am working on some styling improvements of the main kicad icons. The two lib component editor and lib footprint editor really need some work, I think. This is some intermediate result: [image: Inline image 2] Any feedback would be great. I think that the pen (that suggest the editing) is actually quite redundant. I attach the svg file just in case somebody (Konstantin?) feels like contributing. Regards Fabrizio
