I like some of them, and dislike others myself but I LIKE the idea of a
distinct lazarus icon set, some of the component buttons are too small though
(or perhaps the icons are too big ?)
On a related noted, I have been thinking that it would be great to have a set
of developer-icons which can be (optionally) installed with lazarus for use
by lazarus programmers inside apps.
Now I don't feel like starting from nothing, so my suggestion would be to take
the icon set from kylix to get a LIST of what icons are shipped with delphi
(but NOT use those - licensing) and then take some very good LGPL'd icon set
(I love nuvola so it has my vote), take the 16x16 icons from that and do a
set of xpm/ico conversions selecting a replacement for everything on the
kylix/delphi list.
The default location of this set could then be the default start directory for
the IDE image-open dialog - making it just that much easier on somebody using
it for the first time as they will be able to instantly find icons for their
image-lists etc.
What do you all think about this ? I am happy to do the work but obviously I
won't bother if nobody else thinks it's a good idea. Since it will be fairly
static, it may not have to go into the SVN tree, perhaps it should be
distributed as a separate zip/tarball - all off of these things are worth
thinking about and discussing.
