Icon shadows April 16, 2016, 02:01:33 pm Umm, so Elk Light's new board indicator icons, what exactly are they supposed to be? Flat? Curved? Glowing? I don't get it.
Re: Icon shadows Reply #1 – April 16, 2016, 02:31:29 pm You mean those folder icons? Most (not all yet) icons have been replaced with SVG images, so that icon is the font awesome folder ... but the green, it burns my eyes we need to tone that down a bit. In case why SVG?, the main issue with font icons was accessibility, some reading here for the interested https://github.com/blog/2112-delivering-octicons-with-svgI'd also like to see a better up-shrink image, that chevron looks like something from private pyle
Re: Icon shadows Reply #2 – April 16, 2016, 02:35:34 pm The folder icons, yes. I don't think they can decide what they are, if they're flat design or what.
Re: Icon shadows Reply #3 – April 16, 2016, 03:03:56 pm I'd say flat since they were converted font icons, which are flat as text.But they have a touch of shadow to indicate they are clickable (at least that's what the intent is) .... We can probably find a better one than that one if its the shape that is falling flat
Re: Icon shadows Reply #4 – April 16, 2016, 03:12:51 pm As I reported at github, I feel the shadow is a bit too much. I'd go with a maximum of a couple of pixels, just to give the hint.

Re: Icon shadows Reply #6 – April 22, 2016, 11:08:29 am I copied the shadow code from somewhere else in the theme >_> Can tone down and give it a direction, though.
