Last edit location enhancement #3

Closed larspontoppidan closed 4 years ago

larspontoppidan commented 4 years ago

Enhancement suggestion: Might it be possible to add a Last Edit Location button as well? The icon should be a left arrow with an asterisk (as in Eclipse).

nikita-rudenko commented 4 years ago

Thanks for your suggestion!

I like your idea. I experimented with the asterisk and looked up how it looks like in Eclipse. I think it won't be very noticeable or even confusing for users with the VSCode icon theme. Screenshot from 2020-05-02 22-24-56

Also, I played with different icons and came up with this variant. Screenshot from 2020-05-02 23-12-03

Tell me what you think :) All VSCode icons can be found here

Thanks for looking in to this! I think the arrow with the asterisk looks more clean, and it will be immediately understood by all the Eclipse holdovers out there. Maybe the asterisk could be a tiny bit bigger. (Move the arrow a pixel to the right to make room, perhaps?). Just suggestions :)

I had a go at it: image I don't know, maybe it's too much :)

nikita-rudenko commented 4 years ago

Yeah, the problem is that all icons have to be squares of 16x16 pixels.

Okay, I cut the arrow a bit. Looks good Screenshot from 2020-05-03 17-31-18

The Last Edit Location icon will be available as a checkbox option 😉 Screenshot from 2020-05-03 17-35-26

Just pushed the update to Marketplace. Enjoy ;)

I just updated and tested, it works perfectly. Nice touch with the configuration and multiple icon styles. Thanks for doing this!
