Description Daniele E. Domenichelli 2012-10-24 07:42:22 UTC
When you deny the authorization to someone you get an "XXXX will not be able to see when you are online" notification, but the icon is the green tick (I think "dialog-ok-apply") and that is quite misleading, when I saw the notification, before reading _not_ in the notification message, I thought that the contact was authorized instead.
Comment 1 Martin Klapetek 2012-10-24 07:49:40 UTC
I remember when designing this, we put the green tick in there as "operation completed successfully" as big red things in cross shape are scary and usually mean "error".
Comment 2 Rohan Garg 2012-10-24 07:52:18 UTC
In my opinion we should show dialog-information in order to inform the user about the result of this action
Comment 3 Daniele E. Domenichelli 2012-10-24 08:05:29 UTC
What about "list-remove-user" (and perhaps change also the icon for success to "list-add-user")
The green tick is the same used for the "Approve" action icon, so it's really misleading.
Comment 4 Martin Klapetek 2012-10-24 08:11:59 UTC
That depends on what the icon should actually show. I never saw it as misleading because I always thought about it as "operation completed". However I'm fine with changing it to either "list-remove-user" or "dialog-information" (and if it will be changed, change the "approved" one as well).
Comment 5 David Edmundson 2012-10-25 15:43:43 UTC
change to dialog-information
