I think we could disagree elsewhere on whether icons in menus should be symbolic, while agreeing here on whether these Back and Forward buttons should. They're quite different contexts. (For example, Back and Forward menu items don't have icons at all.)
I'm all in favor of switching from manual to automatic symbolic icons, but that doesn't seem to bear on the artistic issue here. And a prefab Back+Forward widget would be nifty, but I don't see that bears on this issue either. It would just be decided in a different place. So, here's the crux. Can you imagine any program, that would use the standard icon theme (e.g. not kids games), for which the most appropriate Back and Forward icons should be colored round-tipped ➜ arrows? If not, this bug is in the Humanity icon theme. If so, though, should Firefox be one of those programs? If so, what distinguishes USC from Firefox? Is it just that USC's Back and Forward button outlines are visible while Firefox's are not, so Firefox's icons need to cover more height and width to reassure people about the target area? -- 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
