Opacity in OpenMojis

[carlinmack]

I just discovered there is some transparency here:

I'm going to try see if I can write a script to collate all the examples of transparency so that we can discuss if and where transparency is allowed

[carlinmack]

import os
import re

svgs = set()

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk("src"):
    for file in files:
        # print os.path.join(subdir, file)
        filepath = subdir + os.sep + file
        if filepath.endswith(".svg"):
            with open(filepath) as file:
                if "opacity" in file.read():
                    svgs.add(filepath)

print("SVGS:\n" + "\n".join(list(svgs)) + "\n")

Sorted all but these which should be discussed:

@fuddl could you add a

find: fill-opacity="0"
replace: fill="none"

type thing to your figma clean-up script? they're equivalent but it would be nice to keep it consistent 👍

[b-g]

@carlinmack Many thanks for spotting! Will add a new test for it in the next days ...

[carlinmack]

I think we should add the test after we discuss what to do about the 6 remaining emojis

[b-g]

@dnlutz Can you advice how to get rid of the transparency at the last 6 remaining emojis?

I had to apply "Aussehen umwandeln" in Illustrator (cmd + shift + U). After that the transparency of the elements can be changed to 100 percent. transparency.zip

[carlinmack]

not so simple, you agree this looks bad? I would suggest we remove the shadow in some

[dnlutz]

Yes that's a good idea. Otherwise we'd have to define an additional grey tone – the lighter grey is definitely too light.

import re

svgs = set()

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk("src"):
    for file in files:
        # print os.path.join(subdir, file)
        filepath = subdir + os.sep + file
        if filepath.endswith(".svg"):
            with open(filepath) as file:
                if "opacity" in file.read():
                    svgs.add(filepath)

print("SVGS:\n" + "\n".join(list(svgs)) + "\n")

Hello @carlinmack . Sorry if I am a bit off-topic, but in situation like this, you can achieve this kind of recursive search of patterns through text files, with more simpler tools like grep instead of relying on Python script.

In this case something like grep -rl opacity src

Hope it helps.

Cheers
