Summary: Wish: Icon for "add contact" looks like Hitler, could
maybe be changed
Product: kopete
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kopete-devel kde org
ReportedBy: drx a-blast org
Version: 0.12.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18.1
dapper)
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-27-686
I am not really familiar with what can be considered "the" icon theme for
Kopete. However, i am using Kubuntu and in Kopete 0.12.2, in the toolbar over
the contact list, there is a button for "add contact" (with a huge plus). It
shows a stylized person with a, how to say, quite Hitler-lookalike haircut. At
least this is how Hitler is usually portrayed as a carricature or in a cartoon.
The steep line of hair going down on the right side gives the icon an agressive
touch.
Personally i find it funny -- how easy some pixels can give a wrong impression
:) --, but i can imagine sooner or later somebody will be offended.
I know "contact" icons showing stylized people can be a pain to design. The
icons usually picture some WASP business men. -- Most people i add to my
contacts are probably long-haired hippies. Maybe some more abstraction could do
it.
This is a very low priority "bug" report.
Best greetings to all Kopete devs and keep up the good work!
