Please give opinions about new proposed icons for LHelp. See issue : http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=28072 There is a screenshot.
I'm perhaps just rather dense - but I don't find any of these icons enhances my use of LHelp, because I don't know what any of the icons means, and to me they are not self-explanatory.
Why do any of them have a "?" Does this mean that the content they mark is incomplete (possible, but unlikely)? Or is it just a generic marker for "help content" (totally pointless, if that is the case)... or does it signify something else entirely?
The small triangular chevron icons already indicate when a chapter is opened/closed. So a second icon to indicate this is redundant, if that is the case.
When travelling, the better maps I use include a legend somewhere to explain what each map symbol indicates (in case it is not clear, or not self-evident). To me, information of that sort is far more important than which colour(s) are best, a question on which there can be little objectivity, only a multitude of differing personal preferences.
For someone (like me) with poor eyesight, icons that are subtly different (e.g. a faint blue question mark as opposed to a very faint blue question mark) are almost indistinguishable, and rather annoying, since if I have to rely on identifying the right one to pick (say) the right line, it gives me a headache.
I wish I could be more positive, and I do genuinely welcome people's efforts to improve aspects of the user interface. So I'm just trying to offer honest feedback. Apologies if you wanted this posted on Mantis.
