All of the snap icons have been aligned to "FreeCAD Teal" but this color has poor hue contrast in many situations. e.g. Snap Near

A better color should be found and implemented across icons.

3 icons needed:

• Increase knot multiplicity
• Decrease knot multiplicity
• Toggle knot multiplicity numbers
  See forum for details

Import and Export icons are overly complicated.

They should be drastically simplified and probably aligned to other import/export icons.

Perhaps simply an arrow going into the file?

Workbenches with import/export icons:

• Mesh
• Points
• TechDraw
• Spreadsheet
• Part

Pull request 417 introduced a new icon to the path workbench "Path Helix".
It uses the old icon styling and should be updated.

I'm completely reworking the Tool Library Manager for Path workbench. It will now be a separate MDI window that can remain open while working on other aspects of Path. The attached screenshot shows it with bogus icons in place. Please add this to future enhancement project.

New List and Delete list operate on entire lists of tools. So the user can create and destroy lists at will. We need icons for both of those.

Copy Tools duplicates selected tools into a list or job. This might go away if I can get drag & drop working.

New Tool icon is fine as is.

Red Delete X is for deleting a tool from a list. Need better icon.

Import and export are for importing and exporting groups of tools to other format files. Need better icons.

Move Up/Down, are used to change a tools assigned tool number. Need better icons for both.
Need icon for an action to change the tool ID

While not a merged project, the Assembly2 workbench is the de facto workbench for assemblies.

Have git pulled, it's in the build folder.

Current icon too similar to comment icon
Current icon function unclear
This is one of the main functions of the workbench, icon should be very clear.

Ideas:

The import and export svg icons in Techdraw are in the order "Export | Import" several people have remarked that the order would be more logical if it were "Import | Export"

Current mill geometry resembles a drill bit too much.

e.g. a mill should look more like

Other examples:

And just so it's not lost, here's an icon for pocket milling:

Hello,
i'd like to ask, if you have some time to spend and improve this icon?
I'd like to change it to something like this (end mill, drill, boring bar):

But i have zero experience in UI design. Thanks for your contributions so far!

3rd party icons, such as git, IFC and Bimserver in the Arch workbench are currently left untouched if they are present in their original form. (If they've already been modified, alignment has been done)

However, after alignment of all other icons, we should have a look and see if they clash too much and align them in that case.

See this forum discussion where the issue first comes up.

Revert commit 8e87cd6 to recover work already done on the bimserver icon

Current icon is a recycled one. New icon should be created that reflects the idea of a Job better : folder, container, group?

Already done, just adding this for bookkeeping
Forum discussion

The Drawing workbench currently explicitly creates an icon for every page size and orientation.

We should instead use a generic portrait icon and a generic landscape icon, allowing the icon label to communicate the page size.

See Drawing/Gui/Command.cpp#167 for a relevant piece of code for placing these icons.

There are the 4 dressups that currently don't have an icon (and to be clear, this is for 0.17) - in alphabetic order:

• Dogbone
  Dogbones and T-Bones are little extra cutouts one has to make if a corner needs to fit another part.
  A concise and graphical description can be found here: http://blog.inventables.com/2014/06/learn-about-milling-inside-corner.html

• Dragknife
  A dragknife is a special tool that requires modifying the path. The best description is really sliptonic's video:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40CRimcwAZo

• Entry Method
  Some tools cannot cut "downwards", meaning in order to change the depth one has to lower the tool in an angle. This can be either straight along the actual path or in the form of a helix that spirals down to the desired depth and then follows the path again.

• Holding Tags
  Holding tags are just that, little bridges left when cutting out a part in order to hold it in place and prevent it from flying right in my face (and getting wrecked in the process of doing so). While they could have any shape the simplest forms are rectangular, trapezoidal and triangular.

• Dressups
  Now that I think about it it would be great to have an icon for dressups in general. A dressup is a modification of an existing path. Of the above dressups "Entry Method" is probably the only that makes sense for any path. The other 3 are really only useful for Contour and Profile.

Summary of Icons Needed

• Dogbone
• Dragknife
• Entry Method
• Holding Tags
• Dressups (Generic)

I don't know how, but looking at techdraw icons again while doing drawing workbench, noticed that the inner highlight is shifted a little off grid. Doesn't impact anything 32px or below thansk to rounding, but should still be repaired.
