Fill icon

Mon Feb 02, 2015 8:30 am
Hi,
I'd like to congratulate, the Breeze theme is so powerful now.

I just spotted some detail. Different metaphor of filling has been used in Breeze. Example for Libre Office:

I can only tell you that I have trouble spotting the fill icon, be it in Inkscape or other apps. It does not improve over time too much. It makes me think.

I propose to come back to the origins here unless there's something fundamentally unbearable (other than the "design the new" temptation).

I guess we have similar story here as the one related to clipboard actions.

To be honest while I re-used the LO screenshot, the discussion is more general - the new fill icon is in breeze already and apps use it (I mentioned Inkscape as an example).

Yes. I have never understood what a bucket has to do with fill this area/object with color.

---------

But as I don't want to get into the borderline philosophical discussion of the last time I've changed it to a bucket.

You need a lot of color to fill a whole area and you don't need to be precise, hence you pour it out of a bucket instead of using a brush.
