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)
TamTam refactoring
Proposed toolbars for TamTamSynthLab
Proposed toolbars for TamTamJam (Need better icons for Jam and Playback toolbars)
Finance refactoring
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
- I tested other placements for the elements in the Transaction icon, with one and two arrows, I'm open to critics
