Yea, I've been wondering the same thing about back and forward buttons. The problems (as always) comes down to third party applications. They may have a need for the back and forward icons that is something other than what we expect them to be used for (back and forward in the toolbar).
My motivation for wanting them to be symbolic is that they appear on a button and not stand alone. I'm not sure if that 100% makes sense, but I feel like icons on buttons or in menus should be symbolic. Well, personally my hope was to eliminate the ubuntu-mono themes for P since we have the symbolic icons in GTK3. So that's something to consider. It would mean a lot less to maintain for artists, packagers, etc and would make the indicators that Ubuntu supplies more useful for other distributions as well as making them more compatible with themes that were previously targeted at GNOME. Something I've been considering in Granite (an elementary toolkit that extends GTK) is an actual navigation widget that would have the back/forward buttons, drop downs, etc already implemented. This could be a good way to get third party developers to jump on to this boat by making it more convenient for them to implement our desired design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840659 Title: Use symbolic icons in history buttons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/840659/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
