Revision as of 12:11, 16 March 2009

The following icon set aims to fulfill the need of a typical graphic application. We have taken bitmap editor, vector editor and a non-linear video editing application as the target user.

The set will be distributed under the terms of the GPL.

Work in Progress

This document is a work in progress. The tables are not sorted in any way and you are welcome to add more icons to the list that you believe have the proposition of being more universably useful in graphic applications. Please try to avoid abbreviations as they are a little less predicatable, use full words instead like for example horizontal and vertical. Do your best to use terms consistently.

This also means that if you have decided to make use of this spec right now, you should consider postponing any planned changes.

Categories

The major structure of the set is divided into:

• Actions
• Devices
• Tools
• Effects
• Transformations
• Status
• Toggles
• Hints

Hints

Hints are small "indicators" displayed over objects to inform the user what will happen as the result of the current operation (typically - user releases a mouse button during a D&D operation). They're displayed not on the object being manipulated, but over other objects that will be affected by the operation. This is primarely meant for video/timeline manipulating where moving one clip will adjust other clips.
