Other than that, no further comment.

Luya I've updated the icons, following Nicu's suggestion for improving strike-through. I attach screen-shot of some of them in action and the fixed strike-through one. The rest can be found at my fedorapeople page [1]. strike-through looks much better. Italic version has an odd line of upper right, could you fix that? Otherwise, I have no further comment once the above issue is resolved.

[Echo] format-text-* icons
Hi, I've just finished four of the format-text-* icons. For the ones for ltr and rtl I am not yet sure what metaphor to use and since I don't remember seeing them anywhere I think we can wait with their fix for later. Some background to the design I used: I've started with the 16x16 size this time (usually I start with the bigger ones) because these icons are really crucial to be crisp and have recognisable metaphor especially in small sizes (usually they are in tool bars in the 22x22/24x24 version). After few tries I decided to go button-like. It is like you create a button with the shape of the original letter, but without any holes in it and draw the letter on it. First it is consistent with e.g. dialog-cancel design, second it is easy to recognise and third (and most important) - when you add the holes, it makes the icon hard to read. I used URW Bookman L font for the design because it nicely shows differences between bold/normal/italics font faces.

The PNGs saved on my desktop do not look good on a colored background, but not that bad on a light gray one opened with eog. Well, the first impression is not the best one in this case, you are not used to this type of icons, but after a while it gets better - during the long time I've created these (I didn't have much time to work on them) I grew to love them... I think the shape for striketrough would be better with the dash on the same plane as the letter face, not on top of it (attached). Probably you can do it better with extra details (show the top of the dash). I haven't tried this one but it seems to look better :-) And I attached a preview with all the icons grouped, I find it much better for previewing. Well, previewing is best in tool bar... but for that I would need to add the icons to the theme first (I've done this with some of the system - administration icons) ;-) Martin signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
