Replace the crown with both Mac and Windows logo? #30

Open DecimalTurn opened 1 month ago

DecimalTurn commented 1 month ago

Currently the crown (Crown) is the symbol for "All plateforms", however it is not a very intuitive symbol. Perhaps a better option would be to just have both the Mac and Windows logo when an entry works for both?

Or at least, I think we should change the tooltip from "Compatible on all platforms" to "Compatible on both Mac and Windows" since VBA is not compatible with the Unix plateform or any mobile plateforms.

It's true, we could probably create our own SVG which clearly indicates both?

Something like this? Made in powerpoint 😅

I thought of that initially, but wasn't sure if I like the split logo.

Here's my attempt: image

Hi,

Since there are only two, I think it would look better to have both icons than a single icon combined.

Yeah @KallunWillock suggested this to me a while back too. As in literally:

- [![p_win]](#-) [![p_mac]](#-) [![a_all]](#-) SomeLibrary - Description

I'm not a massive fan of this though because I see these as 2 columns, I feel that the proposed chaining will be more difficult to read unless there is a "Not mac" symbol.

For clarity these are mockups of our options:

At this scale it does appear as though the merged mac/windows icon is pretty difficult to see, though maybe good enough to distinguish. Option C is the easiest to read, and to be fair we don't need a specific not symbol per OS, it can just be a generic "disabled" symbol with a different tooltip.

Option C seems like the easiest to read indeed and I think having seperate "not" symbols is also good for clarity.
