Public bug reported: Firefox 3 icons in hardy look inferior to even their default firefox 3 counterparts. I don't mind the ubuntu team creating a custom look and feel, but if they do it should be superior or on par to what came before.
They should take a note out of the book of the design goals of KDE's oxygen project (and aqua where they take their notes from). http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?cat=3 I've included screengrabs and have blown them up so you can see the issues. Specifically my problems with the icons are: * Smaller, thinner, less substantial. * Probably the same amount of aliasing, but the reason above makes it more pronounced. * Heavier use of drop shadow (no one does this anymore). * Lacks glossy feel (due to less surface area of hightlights, highlight tone not sufficiently brighter than regular tone). * Lacks illumination feel. (Look at the refresh icon, see how the default has a thin white outline inside the darker outline.) ** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox 3 default icons in hardy look like crap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
