[Linux] Mimetype problems #167
Comments
Added the tag to the issue.
That's a stylistic choice, and this is not changing. Not all icons have to be the same shape, form, and size to achieve consistency.
It was deliberate not to use a folded corner in the mime types; this is also not changing.
I'm aware. As I mentioned in the README, this isn't complete.
When you download something through a torrent, you get the file(s) piece by piece. It's a literal representation of that. Anything else like, for example: using a down-facing arrow is doing lazy design work.
It makes sense in the context of the style used in the theme. Thanks for reporting the missing icons. |
Only For the former, I'm not sure what it is. I can see that "BinHex, originally short for "binary-to-hexadecimal", is a binary-to-text encoding system that was used on the classic Mac OS for sending binary files through e-mail." But it's not clear to me in the sense that, is it an email message? a binary file?. For the latter, what I've found is that it's some kind of statistics software and the images that I checked were of a spreadsheet, so it probably makes sense to use a spreadsheet icon. |
Issues
These mimetypes have no icons:
Generally there is a lack of consistency among the mimetype icons.
Some icons have pronounced shadow, others don't. Some icons are square (archive), others are rectangular.
The mimetype icons lack a "folded corner" which is an industry standard. I understand that it might be a deliberate design choice, however this makes it really hard to distinguish application icons from mimetype icons.
Very few mimetypes have small size icons (<=32px). Icons don't look sharp and are less readable when rendered at small scale.
When there is a small version of the icon, it usually stands out, which is also distracting.
Opinions
Thanks and keep up the good work!
