From the discussions in IRC and email:


If we could quickly reach consensus on some outstanding issues regarding standard icons for things like the camera and user-created content, perhaps we could incorporate these icons in all the activities?

About icons, I think we need a agreement with:

  • New items (for example Implode use the star, and the star is our icon for bookmarks)
  • Save to journal / export (turtle art use the transfer style icons)
  • Load from journal
  • View icon (the eye is used for sensors in turtle art, maybe use the sensors icon in Measure?)
  • Photo / Camera / mic icons
  • Sensor input (is the Measure icon OK?)
  • The lips (i am trying to use them for text to speech, but is used in Measure)
  • User created content -- when use the gear? or spanner (wrench)? We have a spectrum from creating new content to modifying parameters to modifying the activity itself.
  • A search icon (we use the loupe, but can be confusing with the zoom icons?)
  • The loupe icon was not designed for the toolbar and have a different size
  • A standard icon (and way of handling) examples (code, projects, etc.)
  • Help icon (Finance and other activities have one)

Note: It has been proposed to move the play/mute buttons to the main toolbar so as to make the Beat buttons fit on smaller displays. --Walter 16:13, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Proposed toolbars for TamTamEdit

Note: Might make sense to move the playback / record buttons to the main toolbar. --Walter 16:13, 31 July 2011 (EDT)

Finance refactoring

An alternative to the Transaction subtoolbar buttons, reusing the icons "row-insert" and "row-remove":

Considerations:

  • I have converted the view buttons to radio buttons
  • The sensitivity of the buttons in the Transaction toolbar depend on list view selected, maybe we can trigger a change to list view when Transaction toolbar is selected
  • The context help strings may need to be changed because of the toolbars change, I will check
  • The help icon may be a good addition to Sugar
  • Change the Period label for icons inside the combo box, like in Record?
  • I tested other placements for the elements in the Transaction icon, with one and two arrows, I'm open to critics
