RE: [tigerstripe-dev] Icons..
|
They are guidelines only. I know you shouldn't rely on
color (color blind people don't like it...) but I am hoping that tooltips will
help. The constraints where:
1) Don't want to use letters (16x16 is not much room and
they aren't very visible).
2) There are a lot of different 'class types'... I'm
obviously not inventive enough - I couldn't think of any other means to
distinguish. I suppose we could use different shapes but I'm not sure it would
help much.
3) There are 17 * 3 icons to create and I started to get
really fed up...

From my point of view they are quite exciting because I can
decorate them for the IRD work without clobbering any text that is already
there...
The only slight reservation I have is that UE guidelines
tend to say that you should not rely entirely on colour to distinguish things in
a UI. Are there any Eclipse UE guidelines or rules like this we have to abide
by?

So attached are a
set of replacement Icons. I guess we need to decide whether to use them or
not. I might consider another iteration but I normally have bad experiences
iterating graphics and these were a complete pain to do. Not sure whether they
are better than the current ones or not...
