Description Tyson Tan 2016-09-25 17:35:32 UTC

The current renewed Zooming Icons in the BrushAndStuff toolbar are unconventional. They look cool but they don't link with people's concept of zooming very well. The Zoom In and Zoom Out icons are basically the same! The arrow pointing to a diagonal direction, VAGUE.

To make the current concept work better, we should reverse the arrow direction of Zoom Out icon so it shows "big>small"

But the best solution is still a magnifier with + and - in it. We have perfect built-in context that way, and do not need to resort to direction and other stuff to understand what they mean.

Reproducible: Always

I agree at least the zoom-out icon is not really "working".
I'll try another idea, and if it still is not good I'll go for the magnifier.

The new icons looks great! And they avoided that potentially sensitive "+" symbol, which is also nice. Thank you Animtim! :D
