[tdf-discuss] Re: Can we replace Floppy Disk
Apparently someone decided that it was a good idea to replace the Floppy icon. I'm sorry I didn't get a change to vote (if there was any voting) Personally I think that regardless if people know what a Floppy is, they recognized that symbol as the Save icon (basically a blue square with a white rectangle). Today I loaded LO 3.5.0 RC1 and for a moment I thought the Save button was gone, until I realized it was replaced by another icon. I would like to understand how or when this was decided so that next time I can have a say (or not, if user input is not required or wanted) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Can-we-replace-Floppy-Disk-tp3617084p3678013.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I didn't follow the discussion closely, but I can tell you two things: - the discussion on this list (the discuss list) did not lead to any decision; however the discussion on the design list might have done that as it is the right mailing list for design and UX contributors, so that's the normal way to go - if the icon was changed (I don't think it has, my 3.5 beta still has the floppy icon on the mac) then it means someone provided a replacement icon. Again I don't remember it was the case, but changes do not occur though discussion, they do occur through effective contribution :-) Best, Charles. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
