Description andreas 2016-06-26 23:15:32 UTC
Hi,

I'm the maintainer of the breeze icon theme. you use for the upcomming 5.0 release breeze icons which is awesome. In general I have 2 icon which were used wronge, cause we use for action icons in toolbars monochrome icons.
1. applications-internet is used for please use instead the icon named global
2.  text-xml is used for metadata please use instead the icon named format-text-code or view-list-text

Reproducible: Always

Comment 4 Simon 2016-07-20 08:53:30 UTC
I noticed that the map icon still is the only icon not in monochrome and really stands out. I guess the right icon instead of "internet-web-browser" is "globe". It is essentially the same item as is in use currently, but in monochrome. There is also "map-globe", but in my opinion it is ugly. "globe" only exists in sizes 16 and 22, but as it is just a symlink to "folder-html"  which exists in all sizes this should be easily added if necessary.
Comment 5 andreas 2016-07-20 09:03:05 UTC
Hi, yes global would be the best joice cause you use the icon for actions. action icons are needed in 22px by default and 16px if the user like. I also play around with 32px size but nobody care about 32px action icons. so change to global

thanks
Andreas
Comment 6 Simon 2016-07-20 09:12:32 UTC
Hi Andreas,
There are other icons that stand out as not monochrome, however less 
present and much less intrusive. Still making them monochrome too would 
only be consistent. Are there already monochrome pendants to the 
following icons?
In the right sidebar:
  - in Filters: MIME Type Filtering
  - in Captions/Tags: rider Information: Rights
  - in Properties: Item Properties and Photograph Properties
In the left sidebar:
  - in Dates: icons of subentries of years

Comment 8 andreas 2016-07-20 09:22:56 UTC
can I make a Digikam review and if I can fix it I will send an Review Request via RB ok.
Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2016-07-20 09:38:30 UTC
Don't need to use RB. A patch posted to bugzilla is enough.

As i already said in the past, RB is a waste time. Bugzilla is enough and is perfect to manage an open source project. Just attach the patch to a new bugzilla entry.

I don't understand why we need to multiply tools to manage opensource. One to drive all is enough. Improving Bugzilla yes, multiply tools no, excepted if a tool provide something new and suitable.

For a simple patch to review, bugzilla is enough. In all case we will need to donwload the patch to test...

Note: The icon globe does not work under Windows, always use the unlinked variant -> folder-html.

Replace more icons that stand out

There is still some icons which stand out for not being monochrome in the wrong context. I did the following changes in the attached patch:

view-calendar-month -> view-calendar (Dates sidebar, context menu goto date)
system-file-manager -> folder-open (filters MIME)
applications-graphics -> document-edit (tools sidebar)
flag-red -> flag (only where applicable)
image-x-generic -> view-preview (item properties)
folder-html -> view-bank (for donate menu entry)
folder-html -> globe (geolocation related stuff)

I made sure all were files not symlinks.
I was in contact with the maintainer of breeze and they were almost upset over folder-html (a folder icon) being used instead of globe (action icon) so they immediately made the globe icons actual files and the folder-html to symlinks (without me being able to consult with you first), see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374307
and
https://github.com/KDE/breeze-icons/commit/1067bcbae8a03df42ca415aee28c255915eb2056
Using folder-html had the ugly effect, that in the tools sidebar the geolocation icon was a blue folder in the middle of monochrome folders. This is fixed by switching back to globe.

The previous patch was old, sorry.

Simon,

Thanks for your patch. Please open a new file in bugzilla to attach your patch. This one have been closed few month ago. Mixing patches here can confuse the history.

Thanks in advance
