<d1b2> <azonenberg> Thoughts on this general style for future toolbar icons? got this from the same artist who did a lot of the filter graph stuff
<d1b2> <azonenberg> (not so much the exact depiction, we can discuss that later)
<d1b2> <azonenberg> but i want to move away from the current toolbar icons at some point, they're not very clear and i want to make more use of color
<d1b2> <azonenberg> @lainpants @david.rysk if either of you have thoughts
<d1b2> <miek__> i've certainly found the current ones confusing before, the stop button in particular
<d1b2> <miek__> tbh that example looks really busy, to me it's even less clear
<d1b2> <azonenberg> Well concrete feedback for the artist is welcome πŸ™‚
<d1b2> <azonenberg> @tetrikitty ^
<d1b2> <miek__> does it really need a waveform element to it at all? i'd say that pressing just a plain "play" or "stop" button in the app-that-captures-waveforms would already be clear πŸ˜…
<d1b2> <azonenberg> Yeah that could be fine. the challenge is mostly distinguishing single, force, auto, single trigger visually
<d1b2> <azonenberg> that's more options than normal media player buttons have
<d1b2> <tetrikitty> we were going to use the waveform position to distinguish between normal and auto
<d1b2> <azonenberg> yeah i dont like that
<d1b2> <azonenberg> i just dont have a specific idea for how to make it better
<d1b2> <tetrikitty> so like, the normal version of the icon would have the waveform start from the yellow line instead of before it, in that schema
<d1b2> <azonenberg> on that note i need to schedule another dev call, it may be worth having the team go over this in more detail then?
<d1b2> <aleksorsist> Yah, seems like it'd be a good time to discuss this
<d1b2> <david.rysk> I’m honestly not against using text on the icon
<d1b2> <david.rysk> Like β€œ1” β€œAUTO” etc
<d1b2> <david.rysk> Trying to do everything with graphics can get unworkable with icons this small 😦
<d1b2> <azonenberg> it would have to be like single letters
<d1b2> <azonenberg> depending on how big the toolbar is
<d1b2> <azonenberg> thats my concern
