This Branch

Details

This branch adjusts the icons to make them more slightly more usable at a glance.

• The SVGs have been redrawn to increase the contrast between dots of different colors, as well as to increase the contrast between the dots and their icons.
• The icons have been made slightly bigger.
• The colors have been adjusted slightly be more readable.

Good job. Looks much clearer. However, I can see why some people would prefer the existing graphics, so overwriting the existing is not a good option. The new graphics could be added as an alternative graphics set, just like with the small version of the signals.

Thanks for considering this!

If you have a second, can you expand on why people might prefer the existing graphics so I can consider how to best accommodate those folks?

People hate change :)

Goes to show I should not be a graphics designer, I really like the improved look!

It would be easy to merge the new items into the options. All you have to do is keep the current icons. Add the new ones with a different name (e.g. altert-flat) and add them to the prototypes in https://github.com/troelsbjerre/Bottleneck/blob/master/data.lua#L60-L66 .

local icons = {
  none = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/white-flat.png",
  alert = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/alert-flat.png",
  cross = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/cross-flat.png",
  minus = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/minus-flat.png",
  pause = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/pause-flat.png",
  stop = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/stop-flat.png",
  none3D = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/white.png",
  alert3D = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/alert.png",
  cross3D = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/cross.png",
  minus3D = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/minus.png",
  pause3D = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/pause.png",
  stop3D = "__Bottleneck__/graphics/stop.png",
}

Just FYI, I haven't tested the new colors with the existing graphics.

I've tried them for a short while and the old items also look clearer with the new colors.
