Hello! When updating some bits of UI in xwiki-platform, I happened to run multiple times in the same problem: the current XWiki Icon Set does not have the icon I want.
I compiled the instances where I ran in this issue in the past months. Here is my main proposal:
Add 8 icons to the XWiki Icon set. Those icons are defined on Add icons to the XWiki Icon Set (Proposal.AddiconstotheXWikiIconSet) - XWiki. Here is the mapping:
The reasons I want to add those icons are on the design page mentionned above. The mapping in itself is not perfect but thatâs the closest I could get with the limited icons in the different themes.
This proposal is very similar to this proposal by @surli .
I think we should also rephrase the only link pointing to this page from the icon theme documentation :
The current list of available icons in Icon Themes is there as a draft.
This unique link does not reflect enough the importance that this list has in actually using icons when developing interfaces from experience, itâs difficult to find it when new to the project. I think we should update it to
The list of icon names available in the default XWiki Icon Set.
AFAICS, this list is pretty stable and important for our design, and the design page itself is not a draft anymore, so it doesnât make sense to label it as a draft anymore.
Do you agree with those icon additions? Do you have an idea on how we could emphasize the importance of this list in the doc?
Thanks!
