Yes. But in #5 more semantic weight: arrows=conversion between two different shapes - circle & square=full & fixed colors. Sorry for my English. So that's because I think #5 will be better.JohnFredC wrote:From my perspective, #4 and #5 are just a "muddle"... too many colors and shapes to communicate effectively.
PS. Aren't color depth and palette really the same thing?

Re: Default toolbar icons demopage
None of the first group work for me... they are too much "photographic" and their messages are ambiguous.
#1 reminds me too much of "Copy".
#2 is OK but needs a "neutral" canvas. When we change the canvas size we assign a single color.
Here are suggestions:

Yes, I guess it does. But the full screen icon does not show the second (larger) image.mezich wrote:Thanks. But #1 looks like current Fullscreen
Here is a crude color depth suggestion. The diagonal across the square is a common metaphor.

Re: Default toolbar icons demopage
Good for preview image "show indexed/full color". Not for convert. That's because I used arrows.

Yes. Not show. But arrows tell us that image size will be increased and no reduced.JohnFredC wrote:Yes, I guess it does. But the full screen icon does not show the second (larger) image.mezich wrote:Thanks. But #1 looks like current Fullscreen
May be adding bidirectional arrow in my version between two images will be good for you?

Re: Default toolbar icons demopage
Sure, double arrows would better address the resize meme. They would be rather small in that icon, though. Maybe another icon layout would work better.mezich wrote:May be adding bidirectional arrow in my version between two images will be good for you?
I repeat myself from previous posts:
Good icon design is the most difficult part of software.

As I know in XnViewMP 24x24 not used. Only 16x16.
Should I make 16x16 version?

Re: Default toolbar icons demopage
I don't care for No. 2 but any of the rest are more than suitable.
To make things easier:
5 & 6

24x24 icons are used in toolbar, and 16X16 in menu, so it's not needed... Thanks!mezich wrote:As I know in XnViewMP 24x24 not used. Only 16x16.
