improve icon colors #23

Closed balping closed 3 years ago

balping commented 3 years ago

Plain blue over the red was just painful to look at. After long experimentation I picked two new colors using an online color palette generator: https://paletton.com/#uid=5000u0kyHrZpCUyu0JXwWhfxr63

Feel free to choose another combination if you'd like to, just please don't leave the arrow at 0000FF.

Also, I optimised the png icons using lossless compression by Trimage.

Thank you for you input! I'm by no means a graphical designer, but I just needed a damn icon for my app. Personally, I do like your choice of red a lot better, however I maybe would like to see another prototype if you can with a color that offers more contrast for the arrow. Maybe some shade of blue?

Nor am I :smile:

I tried some blue-ish colors, but couldn't find one that looked good to me. Maybe someone more experienced could do it.

Can you try to find me a shade of light blue that I pleasing on the eyes, like pastel color?
