Thank you for these icon sets. At the bottom of the GitHub page is a link to instructions for how to create new icon sets. I have quite a few questions. Can I ask them here? Or should I email you privately? For now, the main question is this. Why do you go through all the steps with the SVG/XML code and stuff, rather than use the on-canvas tools? Thanks for your help :-) brynn _____________________ From: Xaviju Julián Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2015 6:07 AM To: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Inkscape-user] Material Design icon set to use as inkscape 0.91symbols Hi! I just send you this email to let you know that I created a symbol set for inkscape with the Google Material Design Icons (at the moment only this set) that you may find useful for design and development. https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-open-symbols I also encourage you to collaborate as indicated in the readme to make it even better and make designers and front-end developers happier. Lets open source and share our own icon libraries as well. Hope you enjoy it. :) Xaviju ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

"That's why the posts says "and make your front-end developer love you". This feature is just awesome." Well, the problem there, is that I'm so much not a developer, I don't even know what that means! Unless it's a living creature, I can't tell the front end from the back end, lol. But ok, thanks for letting me know. Since it's pretty close using the on-canvas controls, I will use that for now. But if I ever want to make sets to share with other people, it sounds like I would probably want to learn about these things. Thanks again for the nice symbols :-) ____________ From: Xaviju Julián Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2015 3:31 PM To: inkscape-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] Material Design icon set to use as inkscape0.91 symbols Just a quick update on the inkscape open symbols set! - Added Octicons, the github icon font (https://octicons.github.com/) - Added Humble UI, a simple UX wireframing library that I created myself (https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-open-symbols/wiki/Humble-UI) - Probably soon: Ubuntu Suru Icons (http://www.typhoonpc.com/linux/suru-icon-theme-package-lands-in-ubuntu-14-04) I'm waiting for a PR https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-open-symbols Brynn asked For now, the main question is this. Why do you go through all the steps with the SVG/XML code and stuff, rather than use the on-canvas tools? You are right, is perfectly fine to use the UI. To me is a little bit more complicated and slower, but it is fine. Since I am more a front-end developer than a designer, it looks faster to me to manage SVG code than multiple windows, forms and clicks :) But also, in my tests, I found out that the final generated code from the UI (and this might be my fault) its not as perfect as I would like it to use it directly (just copying and pasting it) in my web development workflow, so I need to clean it up a bit. I just wanted to remove this step. That's why the posts says "and make your front-end developer love you". This feature is just awesome. Thanks again, your feedback is very appreciated. 2015-02-26 14:07 GMT+01:00 Xaviju Julián <xaviju@...155...>: Hi!
