The mini icon displayed in DocumentGraphics is almost invisible.

on my browser they are the same icon, and the same size - (FF3 on debian) did you fix it already? (just to make sure its clear - if you can find / make a better one, go for it - you're going to make a better choice than me whatever happens - the webicon issue that Kenneth raised shows that my vision is a tad to good - or that I'm too used to looking for subtle variations in pixels)

-- SvenDowideit - 29 Mar 2010

I see different icons too, and I agree that the icons are too small. Confirmed and changing to urgent because this really hurts usability.

-- MichaelTempest - 03 Jul 2010

FWIW I also see two different icons on FF3 on Debian

-- CrawfordCurrie - 08 Jul 2010

I will create or find a better icon for it

-- KennethLavrsen - 21 Jul 2010

last night I had a quick look around, and found:
  • plus.png
  • plus-small.png
  • plus-circle.png
  • plus-small-circle.png
  • plus-white.png
  • plus-small-white.png

and its matching minus..
  • minus.png
  • minus-small.png
  • minus-circle.png
  • minus-small-circle.png
  • minus-white.png
  • minus-small-white.png

from the FugueIconsContrib..

-- SvenDowideit - 22 Jul 2010

That's what I use for twisties since trunk's default toggle icons are so uggly (and the previous on foswiki/stable as well imho).

  • toggle.png
  • toggle-collapse.png
  • toggle-small.png
  • toggle-small-collapse.png

-- MichaelDaum - 22 Jul 2010

OK. I will pick Michaels then. I like that they are square so they do not look like the add and remove icons that are round often.

I also agree that the old icons were ugly and above all - did not at all indicate that it was a toggle. The tiangle was too small. Looks more like a fly-turd.

Thanks Michael. That made my job easy.

I am setting it waiting for release instead of close because upgraders from 1.0.X will be happy to know that also this improved.

-- KennethLavrsen - 22 Jul 2010

excellent - glad to have help choosing icons - after a few hundred it becomes very painful smile

-- SvenDowideit - 22 Jul 2010

Hmm. It looks like the problem with the mini icon is back, even though the icons have changed. Viewing on trunk, I see toggleopen looks like the first icon in Michael's comment above, but toggleopen-mini doesn't look anything like the 3rd icon. It looks like a really tiny tick mark or tiny box, depending on the browser. I tried Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE. I'm new to the community, and not sure about the convention for things like this, but I guess I'll try changing the state back to New.

-- LeilaPearson - 13 Sep 2010

Perhaps its my eyes, but suddenly the icons look smaller today.

-- ArthurClemens - 13 Sep 2010

Fixed.
