Default toolbar icons demopage

[XnTriq]

Request:

1. Reassign the current icon for cmd_OpenProperties to cmd_ShowInfo
2. Create a new icon for cmd_OpenProperties that's closer to the standard “Property Sheet” symbol

Hello,

I think that we must have icons for :

change color depth
automatic levels
automatic contrast
negative
sepia
old photo

Do you have an idea for the metaphor?

And which others icons are needed?

[mezich]

Looks like people don't need new icons

[JohnFredC]

Sorry, I've been busy.

We definitely need:

• change color depth
  automatic levels
  automatic contrast

I'll try to work up ideas for these three today.

OTOH, I'm not so sure about the need for these icons:

• negative
  sepia
  old photo

Negative and sepia are easy, but old photo? Very difficult in an icon.

AutoLevel & AutoContrast

UPD: alternative is letter "A" instead of arrows.

[JohnFredC]

Hello Mezich.

You are really good. I like them both. Some thoughts:

Automatic Levels

For the Auto levels icon, perhaps reversing the direction of the two little arrows would be better. My reason for this is that I think the automatic levels action typically results in an apparent widening of the histogram.

Automatic Contrast

I really like the appearance of this icon, but it suggests "Adjust contrast" to me (instead of "Auto contrast") since the arrows suggest a variable control, which "Auto" is not;

The problem is how to represent the "Auto" meme component.

Perhaps the "Auto" could be better represented by a little robot head or something that implies robotic action.

That's because I suggest "A" letter. Robot head is too complex fot recognition in small size. I have seen "A" in photo camera UI.

[JohnFredC]

Understood!

I notice PhotoFiltre has "AUTO" in its icons.

AutoContrast with "A" letter

[JohnFredC]

That looks really good.

Did you try an "A" on the Auto Levels also ... for consistent iconography?

[mezich]

That looks really good.

I'm not sure. Will try "A" with different font style on the right.

Ok. In Monday
