Description Roke Julian Lockhart Beedell 2023-10-18 16:45:40 UTC
SUMMARY
…or, better yet, the ability to use any icon set but include a toggle to only use its symbolic versions, thus providing variance even to high-contrast themes (too many accessibility features don't support the kind of customization that's arguably more important for accessibility features due to different people needing different kinds of “high contrast”).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE & OBSERVED RESULT
1. See a small icon – it's symbolic and much easier for me to decipher. It's also (generally) duotone, like text, so it's more versatile.
2. See a large icon – it's much too busy for me to understand.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to choose to use the symbolic versions all the time.

Doing this in a generic way is unfortunately impossible, but we would do it for the Breeze icon theme specifically.

(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1)
Thank you. That would be brilliant for me. I think that Breeze icons' symbolic icons are easily the most intuitive icon set I've utilized, so I've no desire for it to be generic, really.
