We're currently in the middle of a major rebase of cinnamon and muffin, and part of this will be support for rtl/ltr icons. Icon theme lookups should automatically search for -rtl-suffixed icons if that's the current text direction. That will probably take care of the edit-clear issue you mention.
I'm not sure about the volume icons, probably it would be fine? I'm just curious why they wouldn't have them if that's a normal 'thing' (assuming Adwaita usually sets the 'standard'). @JosephMcc ?
I honestly don't know the answer to that one. Do level bars switch fill direction in RTL. I guess my question would be, does it make sense to have RTL versions? Since I don't use RTL, we really have to rely on feedback from users who do.
I personally do believe that the speaker icon (and any similar directional icons) should be inverted when using rtl interfaces, for several reasons:
sound@cinnamon.org
:
In general, I've found Googles material ui page on rtl interfaces a rather good summary https://material.io/design/usability/bidirectionality.html#mirroring-elements
go-first
,go-last
,go-next
,go-previous
).I would like to also invert the direction of the speaker volume icons, however they are missing from mint-y and are loaded from Adwaita. I could copy the ltr version from Adwaita and add an inverted rtl version.
Another issue I found is that the
edit-clear
icon for recent documents inmenu@cinnamon.org
applet is not inverted in an rtl layout, despite an rtl icon existing. I'm not sure if that's an icon issue or applet code issue.
