1. Naming Spec Proposal
Based on the need by desktop application authors, we need to propose extensions as well as remove some items from the icon naming specification.
To add:
icon name |
context |
notes |
avatar-default |
status |
to replace stock-person |
call-missed |
status |
for soft phones (empathy, ekiga...) |
caps-lock-warning |
status |
to replace the one in gtk. useful for password input fields |
folder-documents |
places |
XDG folders extension |
folder-download |
places |
XDG folders extension |
folder-music |
places |
XDG folders extension |
folder-pictures |
places |
XDG folders extension |
folder-publicshare |
places |
XDG folders extension |
folder-templates |
places |
XDG folders extension |
folder-videos |
places |
XDG folders extension |
list-synchronize |
action |
Used to synchronize an item list accross computers. This would prevent people abusing view-refresh |
message-mail |
mimetypes |
to replace stock-message |
printer-paused |
status |
to complement printer-* |
printer-warning |
status |
to complement printer-* |
x-plugin-generic |
mimetypes |
replaces gedit-plugin - what about "extension"? |
user-busy |
status |
|
view-presentation |
actions |
And remove:
icon |
note |
edit-clear |
the only useful context for this is the text input widget, where edit-delete already makes sense. We already have way too many removal icons with only subtle differences list-remove, edit-delete, user-trash. It isn't obvious which one to use. |
user-idle |
There is very little room to distinguish user-away and user-idle. We have too many states. |
