[Qgis-user] [Qgis-developer] New Icons - difficult to "read"

[Jonathan Moules]

+1

i.e. The difference between the "Add PostGIS layers" and "Add SpatiaLite
layers" is that one has a regular cylinder and the other has a fat-waisted
hour-glass cylinder - about 20-30 pixels are different in an icon that's
got 1024 pixels! I have to look at them in detail to see the differences.
And there's still MSSQL and Oracle icons to be created in the new schema
which using this system will only confuse things more.


Don't get me wrong, I like the style of the new icons, but they're really
hard to visually differentiate.


I did a quick google and came across this:

The QGIS icons do all of the top three things.
