Francis Herne <m...@flherne.uk> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |m...@flherne.uk --- Comment #5 from Francis Herne <m...@flherne.uk> --- See also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354370 (fixed now). Someone looking for an application (or a window of it, etc.) is very likely to know what its upstream icon looks like. They won't be scanning for abstract concepts that might represent the application*, they'll be scanning for their known image of the app's icon. It's fine to change the shading/perspective and palette to suit Breeze's appearance, but if the main elements and colours don't match it becomes impossible to recognise as the same icon. Even if you assume people use only Breeze and never switch between icon themes (e.g. home/work computers), the upstream icon is used on websites, in package-manager metadata and so on. Having to recognise a completely different icon for the same purpose depending on the context is a problem. *Aside, I don't find the current icon to be representative. After all, the whole point of a VM is that you /don't/ need multiple machines. Also, 'server racks' are used in several other Breeze icons to represent network-shares and other remote devices. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
