Hi Fabrizio, Personally I feel confused with the icons on kicad. I will try to explain in words what my mind think while looking for the icons while is trying to decide the desired functionality and I will some ideas and suggestions: The pencil makes me confuse, so all first functionalities are for editing. Maybe if you could use different tools (tool as a figurative meaning), for example in PCB edition (pcbnew) use a cross and hilight the PCB track that is being edited. Maybe with some more work, an icon that show more tracks and footprints. So removing the pencil seems good idea to me.
But now in the schematic library editor you have also a transistor (as in the schematic editor), so in my mind I think "yeah, I want to place transistors and the two icons show transistors. which one to choose?" Maybe for the library editor, try represent a transistor being drawn? Well.. thats my mind point of view :) Regards, Mario Luzeiro ________________________________________ From: Kicad-developers [kicad-developers-bounces+mrluzeiro=ua...@lists.launchpad.net] on behalf of Nick Østergaard [oe.n...@gmail.com] Sent: 04 May 2015 20:47 To: Fabrizio Tappero Cc: KiCad Developers Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] kicad main icons - minor improvements I wonder why the fold on the paper is in the opposite direction of the other ones, that was there previously. I do not imoly weatjer this is good or bad, I just want to know if there was any thoughts about this. I dont think the old icon with the book for the lib editor is that bad, because I am used to the various books for the symbol editor. But those are also ised for the fp editor. On the other hand the new one is alsp pretty nice.

The two lib component editor and lib footprint editor really need some work, I think. This is some intermediate result: [Inline image 2] Any feedback would be great. I think that the pen (that suggest the editing) is actually quite redundant. I attach the svg file just in case somebody (Konstantin?) feels like contributing.
