Table related icons

all icons are available at https://share.kde.org/index.php/s/AJ0ELSIjLLfN3Iw for an better overview

Existing table icons in Breeze

edit-table-cell-merge
edit-table-cell-split
edit-table-delete-column
edit-table-delete-row
edit-table-insert-column-left
edit-table-insert-column-right
edit-table-insert-row-above
edit-table-insert-row-below

The naming pattern for action icons (as I understand it):

edit-OBJECT-ACTION(-MATERIAL)

"edit-" as prefix because content is changed. Then there are "format-" icons for changing the style of content. And state icons, though there is slight mix with action icons, as target state is also used with actions.

old name proposed name description state
[[1] adjustcol edit-table-column-resize-equal used for both equalize & adapt-to-content currently, should be split ?
[[2] adjustcol edit-table-column-resize-fit see above edit-table-column-resize-fit.png
[[3] adjustrow edit-table-row-resize-equal used for both equalize & adapt-to-content, should be split ?
[[4] adjustrow edit-table-row-resize-fit see above edit-table-row-resize-fit.png
[5] resizecol edit-table-column-resize ?
[6] resizerow edit-table-row-resize ?
[7] hide_table_column hide target state used with action, like "layer-visible-*" show and hide should work for that ?
[8] hide_table_row hide " ?
[9] show_table_column show " ?
[10] show_table_row show " ?
[11] cell_edit edit-table-cell used to start editing (text) content of cell, "edit" as action seems strange, just "edit-table-cell" also, better idea? edit-rename cause you rename the cell input ?
[12] cell_layout configure used to start formatting (content of) cell, see also tool_cellformatting. Or "format-table-cell"? ?
[13] insertcell edit-table-insert-cell used to insert single blank cell or multiple ones, incl. full row/column ?
[14] insertcellcopy edit-table-paste-cell for inserting cells from clipboard, moving existing ones to other positions ?
[15] mergecell edit-table-cell-merge seems existing icon is for same usecase ?
[16] mergecell-horizontal edit-table-cell-merge-horizontal used to merge all selected cells horizontal only ?
[17] mergecell-vertical edit-table-cell-merge-vertical used to merge all selected cells vertical only ?
[18] removecell edit-table-cell-delete used to remove a complete cell, resulting in other cells moving positions edit-table-cell-delete.png
[19] deletecell edit-table-cell-clear used to blank selected cells from all data and formatting ?
[20] delete_table edit-table-delete used to delete the whole table/spreadsheet ?
[21] dissociatecell use edit-table-cell-split ?
[22] selection edit-table-select-cell used both for selecting single cells and cell ranges, but single item in icon is standard? ?


Kexi has table icons, see below. Do they need different iconic language ?

  • Note (Jstaniek (talk) 07:23, 12 November 2015 (UTC)): Spreadsheets have sheets (strictly speaking); db tables are different especially when it comes to the meaning and behaviour of columns and rows. This of course does not have to be always reflected at the level of icons. Ideally we'd like to have the "Kexi table"-related actions here synced with the new table object's icon of Kexi [23].
  • Note Frinring (talk) 19:06, 13 November 2015 (UTC) I would like to see the "sheet" in "spreadsheet" not emphasized in icons, as spreadsheet-tables can be also embedded in rich-text documents or slides (as normal table), so the "sheet" would be misleading there.

Path editing related icons [DONE]

Breeze has most icons here already. Though it uses the term "node" where "pathpoint" is used in Calligra. And segments (lines between neighbour nodes) are not mentioned at all in icon names. Not sure this can be kept, as 2 icons used refer to action on multiple selected nodes, filtered to those which are neighbours on the path. So for now the names proposed use the term "segment", for "format-segment-curve" and "format-segment-line". Ideas for node-only naming pattern welcome.

Connection line related icons

Escape directions [DONE]

Shapes can be connected with lines. The lines enter/leave the shapes on a certain side, ideally orthogonal to the surface. It can be controlled on which sides of a shape connection lines can enter/leave.

"escape-direction" is ODF lingo. Are there more common terms for this?

Animation related icons

Animation actions

old name proposed name description state
[76] with_previous animation-start-together used to set an animation to start with another/the one before in list ?
[77] after_previous animation-start-after used to set an animation to start after another/the one before in list ?
[78] onclick animation-start-on-click used to set an animation to start on activation by user (mouse click/touch on it) ?
[79] edit_animation edit-animation used to start editing parameters of an animation ?

Animation types

There is a set of preinstalled animations. User manually (not supported by UI) can add own animation definitions. Each animation is represented by a symbolic icon, either rendered on-the-fly by animation data (like path) or from prerendered icon fetched by iconname.

Animations are organized hierarchical in groups, with 1 or 2 levels, by type, and each group is shown with a symbolic icon as well.

Current top-level categories with pre-installed animations:

  • entrance animations - shape is not part of scene before, is part when animation is done
  • exit animations - shape is part of scene before, no longer part when animation is done
  • move animations - shape is part of scene before and after, possibly different location or parameters changed

There should be another category actually, at least for the "movie_credits_animation" animation:

  • passing animations - shape is not part of scene before and after

Second level: the type of motion and deformation, like zooming, flying, falling, etc.

Third level (for some): subtype with variants of parameters, like direction of flight, origin/target of move or speed.

Existing icons are done as expected for the first and second level, with one icon per type (some missing). Examples: "entrance_animations" for 1st level and "fly_in_animation" for 2nd level. There are some icons reused for 2nd-level types across 1st-level groups, like "zoom_animation".

For the 3rd level though icons are reused across the groups as created by the upper levels. They refer generically to the parameter variant, like "horizontal"/"vertical" or "in"/"out". Example: "horizontal_animations". Many icons missing.

Approach with parameter-type-style icons for subtypes/3rd level surely makes sense, using combination of 2 icons avoids explicit icons for any possible animation type. Possibly sometimes even existing action icons could be used here, as animation aspect is not needed in the 3rd-level icon itself.

Proposal:

Naming pattern "animation-1STLEVELTYPE-2NDLEVELTYPE", to make use of fallback to less specific icon names if present. Example: "animation-in-funkyfunky" would have "animation-in" as fallback. And "animation-color" would have "animation" as fallback. So no longer reusing icons across different 1st-level categories. That should allow to use the 2nd-level icon as single icon in lists of applied animations (assuming 3rd-level as detail to be ignorable iconically).

1st-level icons

[83] emphasis_animations animation-emphasis none preinstalled right now, shape possibly somehow highlighted ?
[84] custom_animations animation-other none preinstalled right now, "other" possibly better than "custom" ?

Presentation tool icons

The "pen" icon is also used for the cursor. Breeze cursor theme has a pencil . Qt::CursorShape has no pencil variant. How to check if there is a themed cursor variant (and how to get it), before setting own hardcoded icon? KCursor (QCursor subclass) of kdelibs4 was able to search by string for further themed cursors, but lost that in KF5 for unknown reason.

[113] black pause-to-black-screen used to temporarily turn off the presentation, next to black screen also white screen one day ?
[114] highlight highlight-pointer-spot something about turning to mode where mouse is a spot, to highlight things on screen ?

Shape icons

  • inconsistent naming pattern
  • are objects, not actions (few are mimetype icons already), should be rather colored like file type/mimetype
  • those for fixed shape look (flower) should reflect look instead of being iconic

"shape-choose" is used for action, is "shape" a proper term also useful for other apps using these icons?

Tool icons

A tool represents a specific mode of the application, where user input by mouse, keyboard etc. is interpreted for a certain aspect. Additionally the UI might highlight different aspects of the content. Examples: tool "Draw path", tool "Edit vector path", tool "Review". Tools can be offered in a toolbox (Karbon) or by tabs in the sidebar. Each tool is represented by an icon.

  • inconsistent naming here
  • possibly should be all named as action icons, "edit-" or is "tool-" better here?
  • some inconsistent naming in breeze icons, "tools" vs "tool"

Current Breeze icons for drawing tools look too similar on small sizes, as the toolbox.

Kexi

(this section also contains libraries that are used by Kexi)

Kexi General Actions

old name proposed name description state
[156] form_action form-action An "execution" symbol for action that can be assigned to a form widget, e.g. button. The symbol is present in Breeze's [form-view-action so could be reused.
[157] widgets Symbolizes set of widgets / a tree of widgets / form structure
[158] state_data data-view Symbolizes "data" view of a window. Other views are "design" and "SQL".
[159] state_edit design-view Symbolizes "design" view of a window. Other views are "data" and "SQL". "application-x-designer" icons can be a good base. Or this (from MSA): oZPstjj.png
[160] state_sql sql-view Symbolizes "SQL" view of a window. Other views are "data" and "design".

Kexi Form Widgets

Note

Kexi has a Form Design toolbar with widget icons used for forms development. Kexi 3 will switch to a toolbox view like the Apple's one. A list view with description is also possible [161] - good for novice users. Therefore the idea is to have somewhat WYSIWYG look for the widget icons. But still without unnecessary details.
