For the new proper theme I suggest using a 48x48px target size (so some cut'n'pasting is required). Ok, so they all open just fine in inkscape and can then be saved with the correct settings. Trouble is I don't know enough about icons to tell exactly what those settings should be. Could anyone give advice on this? We still need more icons of this type as well. I guess we should aim to fill every name tag on this page: http://daniel.holba.ch/ubuntu/ic/ Should we just build a High viz Tango set and then add the extra ones on top of that? It would be cool to create a Tango set that could be used by other groups, including apps, and take on a life of its own. - Henrik -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] A call for icons: gnome-accessibility-theme
Hi Henrik Ubuntu artists! I'm the author of the original high contrast icon set. While it has been created in vectors to allow screen density independece, I have used a proprietary Adobe Illustrator back then. The gnome-themes module, where the icons reside, only includes bitmaps. There are also some, in my view, not so well executed icons contributed by Sun folks there. If anybody wants to step in and create a nice high contrast set based on the original artwork, possibly following the new naming scheme, I have tared up the icons here - http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/high-contrast.tar.bz2. The icons are LGPL. I will be happy to contribute extending such a set, but do not have time to set up the infrastructre and everything. I have written a small how-to for the high contrast icons ages ago, so it would be a nice starting point for some style guidelines too - http://jimmac.musichall.cz/doc/high-contrast/html/index.xhtml cheers -- Jakub Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Henrik Nilsen Omma wrote: Hi, There is a set of four high contrast themes for gnome which seem pretty effective, but the icon sets are incomplete which makes everything rather untidy. To see what I mean install the package gnome-accessibility-themes and select one of the high contrast themes. You will see that some menu entries and applications are fairly complete, while others only partially so. This image shows openoffice, which is the worst offender not using any high contrast icons at all, behind gedit which is complete: http://people.ubuntu.com/~henrik/images/contrast-icons.png I've filed a bug on openoffice since it seems not to know about the existing high contrast icons: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org2-amd64/+bug/27191 but the icon set itself is limited too. It might actually be that most of the gaps can be filled by setting suitable symlinks to existing icons (like making the firefox icon point at gnome-globe.png) Does someone want to chart this set against the list at http://daniel.holba.ch/ubuntu/ic/ and see what can be done to make it more complete (or appear more complete)? - Henrik If some icons are missing in the high-contrast theme, check out the kde-icon-mono package. There is quite a collection of icons in there so hopefully it will be easier to fill the gaps in the high contrast theme for gnome (and hopefully when the icon-naming-spec gets supported by the two big desktops they can merge). - Andreas -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
