Title: Elkarte Light 1.1 - No Icon for Home
Post by: Eliana Tamerin on April 16, 2016, 01:59:43 pm
Home needs an icon. Or community needs a different icon so home can be a house. Maybe community is a condo building? :P

Yep, something to fix on the addon...

Looks better that way. New icons on other buttons are megafugly.

I don't think those icons changed, they are just SVG versions of the same font  awesome ones used in 1.0  ... Not saying I like the use of them in all the other places where they were png's in 1.0 though

No the icons changed in color scheme and I think outline.  As someone with vision contrast issues the new icons at the top in Light are bad.  White with gray outline on gray.  Ugh.

Yeah, they've got a drop shadow. I think it's better without, too.

If icons are not acceptable, what would suggest for the mobile menu  ... I don't think the text will fit.

I'm not saying icons are not acceptable (for mobile) just that the new super low contrast color scheme is unacceptable.  I believe they were green on grey on 1.0.x and now are white on gray in 1.1.

nods ... I agree that they need to return at least to the look of 1.0, but just be SVG instead of fa la la fa-blabla

Let's do something like this, so we have a reference. ;D

On the left 1.1, on the right 1.0.

Puh, I don't like the shadow icons of 1.1 and I don't like the board icons too. And the house is too big.  :(

Yeah, the non-shadowed icons look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. Not so cartoonish.

The problem with this topic is: there are three bugs reported at once:
1) missing home icon <= elkarte.net bug and not theme/variant specific, not even an elkarte bug.
2) problem with shadows
3) different sizes of the icons from 1.1
4) probably something else.
And now I'm too sleepy to think what to do with it.

2) Was reported elsewhere, so not a problem.
3) Was fixed.
4) It's not sure, so who cares.

Considering what remains is 1), then I'll move it to site feedback. :P

4) See image:

(The Community button is now distinct from Home (YAY!) but the top level breadcrumb has the Home icon but directs to Community.)

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed.
