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:

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.mezich wrote:Thanks. But #1 looks like current FullscreenBut the full screen icon does not show the second (larger) image.
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?

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.
