In multiple recent circumstances, we've found ourselves wanting a "gear" icon that we can put on Tools dropdown menus: - https://phabricator.kde.org/D10297 - https://phabricator.kde.org/D10295 Basically we want this icon: https://i.imgur.com/FJOxfJL.png ... Or a suitably Breeze-ey version of it Maybe it could be named more-tools or tools-action or something like that.
I like this proposal. It brings KDE imagery home for users. It is also now a very common icon that represents settings, preferences, options, etc. +1
Change of plans. We discussed this in the VDG room today and decided that a gear might confuse people, since it's commonly used for "Configure/options/settings/preferences/etc" on other platforms. We want something that communicates that it holds tools instead. So we decided that this should actually be a toolbox, kind of like one of these: https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/little-toolbox_7690#term=toolbox&page=1&position=27 https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/toolbox_107189#term=toolbox&page=1&position=38 https://www.flaticon.com/free-icon/toolbox_28403#term=toolbox&page=1&position=59
