Hello all,
I've made a new set of Icons for Inkscape ("crispy_icons.svg").
Thanks. Very snazzy.
Since 16x16 px icons are quite small I create a pixel grid and made the icons this exact same size. Of course if, for some reason, we change their size, they won't look as good anymore (but who wants to do that?!).
Well...
People with higher-resolution monitors, people with limited vision, people running different themes...

Yes I agree with you in those point of couse. My problem is that I haven't been able to make contrast 16x16 icons (whith blacks and whites) that look nice bigger and vice-versa. Maybe there is some technique, but I haven't figure how to do it. Maybe if we don't make the icons so "contrastfull" it may work better (like Xara ones, I think) but poorly contrast icons at size 16x16 are harder to understand... We could make two versions of the same icon (2 sizes, one small, one bigger), but we wouldn't use the advantage of using vectorial images!
Quite a dilema!! any Ideas?
GNOME generally has a "Large Print" theme that can be used to check what things look like when the UI elements get bigger. That's one I used when fixing Inkscape's support for icon sizing properly to the current theme.
