I don't think we're quite ready to do that yet, and we'd probably  
want to
create a corresponding Inverse SVG theme before we switched.  But  
it's not
too far off, and we probably should make it a goal to try and  
switch over

for 2.26.


You probably want to remove all those big red dots before doing so,  
too...


The red dots should were only ever supposed to appear in devel  
releases, but I'm not sure if that's still the case... the Makefile  
magic may have broken at some point.  I'll look into that as well...


Cheeri,

Just doing this now... shouldn't the 'session-properties' icon be  
called 'preferences-system-session' these days, though?

(In which case, the icon already exists in the high contrast themes...  
but 'session-properties' isn't in the list of legacy icon filenames,  
so the two aren't currently being symlinked.)

Hey artists,

the new gdm has a nice and easy way to turn on HighContrast / LargePrint themes.
You can see screenshots of it here:

http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/hicontrast1.png
http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/hicontrast2.png

Unfortunately, as the screenshots show, a number of the icons that gdm
uses don't have
HighContrast versions, which makes the experience a bit less awesome
than it could be.

The list of required icons is fairly short, so it seems doable to
reach a 100% accessible login screen, as far as icons are concerned:

emblem-default
media-playback-pause
view-refresh
system-shutdown
preferences-desktop-accessibility (this may just need to be scaled down)
go-home
preferences-desktop-locale
preferences-desktop-keyboard
session-properties (not in the screenshots)
  

Hi!
Regarding the icons used in the buttons, I don't think the buttons 
should use any icons at all, as the word clearly speaks for itself and 
the icons used currently only lead to confusion (and uglyness).

I filed a bug on this a while ago [1]

Regarding the other icons, it seems that we have all the icons you 
listed, except preferences-desktop-keyboard (and possibly 
session-properties, couldn't find it) in the HighContrast-SVG 
folder/theme [2].
I'm not sure what the status is on that set though. Calum or Luca should 
know.

Andreas,

that is great to hear. But the HighContrast theme still ships with

IconTheme=HighContrast

Should that be changed to HighContrast-SVG for 2.24 then ?
