[POLL] Updating Save SVG and DXF icons

Post by kemes »

May I suggest a change in the Save SVG and DXF icons. The current ones are on the first row and my suggestions are on the second one. The idea is to make 1) the icon more self-explanatory (SVG) and 2) the text size more readable. The font I used is Open Sans (bold).

I would shrink the text just a bit so it doesn't blur into the border at small scale.

I agree. I realized the same once I saw the icons in the toolbar. As attached updated versions.

I realized I was using old filenames. Also fixed the SVG-icon text not being bolded.

IMO looks better now:

I like them, but I have the aesthetic sense of a rock. Anybody else have an opinion?

I think it should have a save icon rather than an arrow

No, these buttons are export options.

Agreed. Save icon should be reserved for saving the FreeCAD file.
