Create Icons for MonoDevelop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For the upcoming MonoDevelop 1.0 release, we need lots of icons. There is a
 list of missing/needed icons at http://monodevelop.com/Missing_Icons.

Deliverables: ten icons from the aforementioned list, in png format for all
required sizes, with svg source files if applicable. They must follow the
FreeDesktop.org standards and the Tango guidelines.

Timescale: 5 days

We need lots of icons, so please list the icons you are interested in. I'll
check no-one else is doing the same icons and fork a new issue for you.

Hello, Benedict.

Some of the icons you listed were done by the issue #29 [1]. I don't know if 
text and
html files needs an proper icon other than the used by gnome-icon-theme.

Action Icons:

New project
Build project

vdepizzol is correct; although text and HTML icons might be needed on other
platforms, on GNOME we may be okay. It may be that the gnome-icon-theme license 
would
allow us to ship these on other platforms. I'm not sure about the XML one 
either.

I really need info from Lluis on which icons he's added, as some of the icons 
on that
page seem to have been replaced already, as one can see from the history at
http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewcvs/trunk/monodevelop/main/src/core/MonoDeve
lop.Core.Gui/icons/

vdepizzol has already added (issue #29)
New project (project-add),
visibility-private
visibility-protected

However, you're all clear for:
Toggle bookmark
Go to next bookmark
Go to previous bookmark
Clear all bookmarks
protected-internal
protected-public
Build project

I suggest using vdepizzol's SVN project icons for "Build project". You'll need 
to
pick another three as well.

I apologies for the disorganisation...

I didn't understand what icon is free or not -> it seems to be realy chaotic :-)

I decided to do task 8 before, because i'll have to learn inkscape,
I am not able to learn how to create 10 Icons for Tango theme in less than 4 
days
(sunday I'd like to have a non working day)

So the translation part at task 8 seems to be easier for me in this time.
maybe I'll draw icons later but I've to learn it first

What icons are still open after those were taken, i would like to do this task 
if i
can have some more info.
Can I make the icons in Photoshop, or must they be svg files?

Original comment by grizl...@gmail.com on 8 Dec 2007 at 7:26

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We would like SVG source files, though they're not completely essential -- but 
trust
me, they make things a lot easier, both to draw the icons and to update them in
future. You can use Inkscape, a Free SVG application. Icons usually need to be
touched up later in the GIMP or Photoshop to make sure they're sharp at the 
different
sizes; the final icons need to be in PNG format.

The Tango Guidelines describe the style you need to use, and also have some 
videos on
icons creation with Inkscape and the GIMP:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines

The completed icons are the ones in Issue #29 (you can take a look at the SVG 
source
files if you're interested), and I've removed most of them from the page of 
missing
icons. However, I'd like you to draw up a list of ones you'd like to do so that 
I can
approve it and create a task for you.

Original comment by Benedict...@gmail.com on 8 Dec 2007 at 9:00

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Those ones are currently clear (since Benedict decided to do translations 
instead),
though you'll need another three to bring the total to ten.

ok attached is my first 10 concept icons, If no correction need to be done I can

The order from left to right of the above icons,

Build project
Clear all bookmarks
Go to next bookmark
Toggle bookmark
Go to previous bookmark
protected-public
protected-internal
XML
HTML
Error list pad

Original comment by higg...@gmail.com on 9 Dec 2007 at 8:46

"Build project" should use the same metaphor that is currently in use (and also 
being
used in the completed isssue's icons)

As for "Bookmark", both the Tango and GNOME icon themes use totally different
metaphors, is this a good idea to not follow those?

"protected-public" and "protected-internal" don'tprotected-public
protected-internal make any sense to me, sorry...

XML and HTML should match the style of the other mime type icons. Also, Tango 
icons
should not have a mirror reflection.

The last one is kind of nice, but the warning sign is unreadable at 16x16 and I 
think
this icon should be more similar to the new pad-task-list icon...

Original comment by michael....@gmail.com on 11 Dec 2007 at 11:34

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I agree with everything Michael Monreal said, and I apologise for taking a 
while to
reply myself. Don't worry, in general I won't count the time you spend waiting 
for me
to reply as time spent on the project.

In addition:

* The icons should be consistent with other Tango icons in terms of colours and
lightness, as well as metaphors and components like directional arrows. Take a 
look
at the Tango icon themes, and the tango versions of the GTK and Gnome themes.

* The icons should be visually consistent with existing Tangoed Monodevelop 
icons,
re-using things like the "Project" representation.

* As stated on the Missing_Icons page, the visibility icons "should be designed 
as an
overlay to be combined with language elements"

* Be aware that tango style guidelines can require slightly different icons at
different scales, for example stroke widths. Please read though the Guidelines 
fully!

* Needed sizes are listed on the Missing_Icons page. The full range is 16x16, 
22x22,
32x32 and 48x48.

Hi again, Thanks for pointing that out, i will get to work strait away,thanks :)

I'm interested in this also, It is listed as open, but I see higgylm has posted 
a
solution.  If I still can get credit for this, I claim this task.  I will do any
needed 10, but am somewhat confused about which still need to be done. So if:

1)I can get credit for this task
and
2)You can provide a list of which still need to be created, then
I Claim this Task

higgylm: I split off issue 51 for you.

vixinu: Except for the icons in issue 52, any ten icons at
http://monodevelop.com/Missing_Icons will do. Select ten, and I'll create a new 
task
for you.

I'd like to do:
find in document,
check box,
radio button,
hyper link,
drop down list,
calendar,
text file,
xml file,
html file, and
toolbox pad

Thanks!

Original comment by vix...@gmail.com on 15 Dec 2007 at 1:56

[GoogleCodeExporter]

vixinu: Xml and html are already taken in Issue 51, and "find in document" will
probably use GTK's built-in search icon.

Since you're interested in the ASP.NET control icons, could I suggest that you 
do a
set of those? They'd be going into the Mono Project ASP.NET dlls.

Original comment by m.j.hutc...@gmail.com on 15 Dec 2007 at 2:14

[GoogleCodeExporter]

How about:
check box,
radio button,
hyper link,
drop down list,
calendar,
text file,
toolbox pad,
image,
radio button list,
check box list
then?  Also, what are the pixel sizes for the sizes listed on the missing icons 
website?

Thanks-Josh

Original comment by vix...@gmail.com on 15 Dec 2007 at 11:40

Menu: 16x16

The other sizes are 22x22, 32x32, and 48x48, though I can't remember the names 
for these.

Hello, Hutchinson.

Is this task still open? Now that my vacation ended, I can draw more 10 icons, 
just
like I did in Issue 29.

Thank you :)

Hey videpizzol,

Good to see you around again!

Definitely, yes! I believe the last date for *starting* a task is 22nd Jan, so 
if
you're quick, you might manage two sets :)

Currently none of the icons at http://monodevelop.com/Missing_Icons are claimed,
except the ASP.NET ones. 

However, most important are the rest of the language items set
(Interface/Struct/Property/Event/Delegate/Enumeration/Assembly items and the 
Internal
access overlay), so that we can combine then with the items and overlays you did
already to have a complete (and therefore usable) set. Post a list of icons 
here and
I'll fork a task for you.

Original comment by m.j.hutc...@gmail.com on 18 Jan 2008 at 4:34

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey m.j.hutchinson!

I don't know well how to represent some language items. Do you have a list of 
current
icons used in Monodevelop or some links showing icons that might use the same 
metaphor?

By now, I would choose the following icons:

bookmark-toogle
bookmark-next
bookmark-previous (and custom icons to right-to-left language)
bookmark-clear-all

find-next
breakpoint
(and some language items I don't know yet)

Thank you :)

Original comment by vdepiz...@gmail.com on 19 Jan 2008 at 1:45

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ok, now I have a final list with 10 icons:

- bookmark-toogle
- bookmark-next
- bookmark-previous
- bookmark-clear-all

- find-next
- breakpoint
- delegate
- event
- property
- enumeration

Thank you! :)
