This is interesting. Not a single one of my installations has decided to use those most of those symbols, and while I recognise them, there's going to be a bit of retraining happening here. > 1: > A + consistent with next Yes. Also, to me this symbol reflects what the icon does better, but not what the function is called. It's where you make a new layout (a big page), but is called a print manager. But then there's problems about difference in name and symbol. > 2: > A + one vector sign in theme (see 15) > B + nicer (transparency) 2B - matches better with the others.

The problem here is differentiation between save vector and save project. Perhaps if it ad a disc similar to the project with a vector overlain, similar to 2?

Even if few of my shapes look like that :) > 9: > A + easy to scale as general <move> action (small sign in right bottom; > see one after 21 - move annotation) I'm used to seeing something closer to the 4-way arrow at the bottom of 9B. With the arrow it's own I'm getting a "next" impression, but if you put it where the star is in 8A I could understand that (so something similar to 23A). I think, 9B. > 10: > A + fits in action area -> reusable? > B + bigger I'm reading this as a button for node settings, so I'd probably expect a dialogue box. I presume this is going to create/move/edit nodes? > 11-14: green (A) vs. white vertex (B) for "object to be processes" > B - why 8 and 9 without white vertex? For B, maybe translucent, similar to 2B? I suspect they'd be a bit hard to see if they were unfilled. > 15: > A + simple message Ah. The pencil is "save as". Ok. Got it. A, with the polygon like 2B. > 16-17: > A - not clear message (16 taken from GIMP) > B - hard to recognize, 17 too dark 16A. This may be because I've just had the super glue out. I'm struggling to see the band-aid (plaster), but it I could tell what it was, I'd understand that. (Is there meant to be duplication there?) > 18: > A - too smal arrow > B - "i" in strange place 18B. Yes, the I is in a strange place, but I get what it's doing. You could reverse the arrow, and get the "i" in a better place, but then the arrow would be all wrong. > 19: > A & B both are unclear 19B. I've got a symbol that is something like a highlighted yellow bit with a big cross in it. Which makes sense to me, but wouldn't fit this set. How about something like the 18.5A symbol with the cross from 14 where the arrow is? > 20-21: > A - not typical > B - bookmark (but spatial?); breaks "without perspective view" rule I like B. Perserspective-wise, is there something that is obviously a bookmark that could be used? I see the golf flag suggestion. I'd think that's also something I'd only recognise in perspective too. > 22-25: > A + consistent A. But noting preference for 4-way thingy in 9B. Probably just muddying the water here. But I hope this is of some help. -ramon._______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
