Hi guys, We're in the middle of redesigning our icon set and I was wondering: Since the shape icons in the Symbolic icon set have the same silhouette as the ones in the Tango testing set, could someone just make a script to automatically make the Tango testing shape icons based on the Symbolic shape icons?
The process in Inkscape would be: 1) Take the shape and apply a linear gradient fill from #729fcf to #3465a4 from top to bottom. 2) Duplicate the shape four times. 3) Add a 4px stroke to one duplicate, which I'll call the "Highlight Shape". 4) Add a 2px stroke to another duplicate, which I'll call the "Outline Shape". I'll call the other two duplicates "Temporary Shape". 5) Convert the stroke of "Highlight Shape" and "Outline Shape" to a path. 6) Do an intersection of "Highlight Shape" with a "Temporary Shape" and "Outline Shape" with the other "Temporary Shape". I'll call the resulting shapes "Highlight" and "Outline" respectively. 7) Duplicate "Outline". 8) Do a difference of the duplicate of "Outline" with "Highlight". We'll call the resulting shape "Highlight 2". 8) Make "Outline" black with 40% opacity. 9) Fill "Highlight 2" with a linear gradient from white with 40% opacity to white with 0% opacity from top to bottom. Now, this only works for flat shapes without inner labels, but it could still save a lot of time. And, later, the script could be tuned for 3d shapes and shapes with labels as well.
