Bug ID: 357726
Summary: volume indicator and wifi quality are too hard to read
Product: Breeze
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Icons
Assignee: uri_herr...@nitrux.in
Reporter: eric.bru...@lps.ens.fr
CC: kain...@gmail.com
I have upgraded from fedora 21 (with plasma 4 and oxygen icon theme) to fedora
23 with (plasma 5 and breeze icon theme) recently, and even after allowing for
some time to get used to the new icons, I still cannot read easily what is the
reception level of my wifi or the set volume of the speakers at a glance: the
volume has two bars and the wifi has three, and each bar can be either black or
grey, but the black and grey are so close that it is impossible to tell them
apart without squirting at the screen.
This is a big regression after coming from the oxygen icons, where an unset bar
was hollowed and a set bar was painted in white: reading the levels was
immediate. The breeze icons for the volume and wifi reception need more
contrast, either by changing the grey level of the unset bars, or making them
dash lines, or making bolder the set bars.
Note that this is not a criticism about the breeze design; it is a bug about
how two icons which should convey easily important information fail to convey
that information. To take an exemple, I find that the battery indicator does a
great job (better than the oxygen icon) to tell me at glance the battery level.
It is important that the breeze icon set be flawless because there is no
alternative. I tried, because of the current issue, to use the oxygen icons but
it is impossible because some icons are missing (such that, for instance, the
wifi killswitch and airport mode icons in the pop-up menu).
Reproducible: Always
