<div dir="ltr">I was asking that question on this thread :<div><br></div><div><a href="http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Ideas-on-the-SVG-symbols-library-td5040508.html#a5046486" target="_blank">http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Ideas-on-the-SVG-symbols-library-td5040508.html#a5046486</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe I didn't emphasize enough on the deletion of symbols...</div><div><br></div><div>IMO, the most elegant solution is to keep only the good-looking symbols so we provide a simple and consistent library, and then to provide a link on the website to download the unmodified 1.8 symbol library in case one needs to keep full backwards compatibility (it's quite easy to install : you just have to replace the SVG folder in your installation folder).</div>
<div><br></div><div>The whole pull request already breaks backwards compatibility with all other symbols, since by removing their background, the may become unreadable on most of the maps...</div><div><br></div><div>So if the priority is the keep old projects looking the same rather than having a clean and consistent library, the best is not to change the svg library at all.</div>
<div><br></div><div>(just as an illustration, do you really think it's pertinent to keep this in the library ? : <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgen6dae66xjml2/north-arrow_10_with_map_layers.svg" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/jj9e852r08w5ysp/north-arrow_10_with_map_layers.png</a> )<br>
