A set of new icons for the context panel

[b77]

OK guys, whatever the location is, it looks like nobody can install the icon packs.

Could be a limitation or bug of the app, or it's some other file that needs to be installed
which I didn't find. I don't know, and the developer probably didn't get around to test.

I posted a download link for the screenshots with the icons in original post of the thread.
Please download those.

Didn't @VectorStyler add the new icons - or new icons inspired by - in the latest update?

@Ingolf Those included in version 1.1.086 are indeed the three selection mode icons suggested by VictorVector.

This is a new set of icons for all the icons of the context panel, those three selection modes, and more.

And three workspaces.

But for whatever reason it won't install… so I'm posting a link to screenshots instead:

I have this now from the default install:

Room for small improvements The image icon has too many details. They result in a mess of tiny details that are hard to recognize, and it doesn't look much better on my Mac, where I've scaled up the interface a bit. Gradually, all the lines and slashes/shadings look indistinct and muddy, so I suggest the icons move towards the flatter and simpler:

As can be seen in this icon:

Strokes/outlines in icons are not really nescessary so I prefer that icon too in real life use.

here a video to see the result after my latest try
( the one with the .vstyler File )

i know that the Step with loading the Quick Panel.vstool
wasnt necessary in this latest try. But i made it to show
whats happen here too

Thanks @Subpath, indeed they won't load…

At least the screenshots can be downloaded, so you guys can see how they look and offer feedback:

Of course it would be better if i could judge the icons in VectorStyler.
But despite all attempts, so far no way could be found to install
them on Windows.

When i looked at the screenshots with my normal user eyes.
The following points stood out for me.

The icons in the light version are too dark for my taste,
especially the boolean icons.

Like the icons in the dark version better.
Generally, i prefer to use the dark mode.
.
.
I can't really get along with the Undo icons.
For some reason I don't like the design.

maybe more like this one ?

Find the space between the groups, sometimes too big
I think it makes the bar look so empty.

You're right, corrected.
See the new screenshots for Light UI mode here:

These fill the square area for an icon better IMO, but OK, I tried (reverted) to a
horizontal design for the Light UI screenshoots.

A bit of space between the groups of icons is necessary.

Unless you mean that on bigger screens this space should be fixed and not grow to
"fill" the available space?

Any other opinions based on the screenshots?

@b77

First of all, of course, i still want to tell you how much
i appreciate your work, with the creation of these icons.
Well done
.
.
Took an extra look at the standard UI Light variants of VS
and noticed that there are already a lot of dark icons.

In general i could say that i don't like already the VS standard Light UI versions.
I think i am apparently so used to the Dark version.
.
.
Im fine with that between the groups should be some distance.
I noticed my previous complaining, as i compared the screenshots
of the "New Icons Dark" Versions in the same magnification.
Compare "New Icons - Dark UI" and "New Icons 2 - Dark UI"
I know that shows different Icons, so compare only the space.
.
.
As for the Undo arrows, i was fine with the 45 degree rotation.
I just found that little tail at the back a bit strange. Even though
I know that you probably referred to the original Undo icons.

Found the new Undo Icons (the straight ones) you made in
the Light Version also good looking.

.
.
Here's what I thought of:
But i think i like your new ones more.

@b77

for the Quick Panel Icons
i like that the Combine Icon (from Boolean)
and the Composite Icon are a bit different

and find the "Select and transform members of grouped Objects" Icon
very well made
