Icons are not self-explanable #2

Sorry to trouble you again :)

I need to wait for tooltip every time i want to use a button, be it "Open", "Save", "Close" or "Exit".

The two last buttons (close and exit) are so similar that i am not sure if i will close the program or the box file every time i want to close a file.

Could you please use some simple buttons from Tango icon theme or give us a way to change icon theme ? Or maybe from KDE default theme "Crystal" ? I could live with any other icon theme whose buttons are self-explainable..

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I try to keep UI consistent so I do plan to mix icons from different themes (crystal, tango, oxygen). Some icons I need to create by myself and I am not able to support (create) icons that will fit more one theme. And I prefer Faenza theme that is very popular (at the moment) ;-) .

Your problem is that you are not familiar with this theme. I see 2 possibilities (excluding removing „Close“ icon from toolbar because it is on Tab widget anyway):

you replace icons with icons you like before compiling program ;-) - this is the quickest solution
somebody will submit patch for changing themes

There were implemented 3 other icon themes (Tango, Oxygen, Gnome). I chose Oxygen instead of Crystal because Crystal theme misses several icons I needed.
