Sorry for the really bad summary. This is the issue: standard icon names in Icon Naming Spec provide the following named icons: address-book-new bookmark-new (plase note this is in tango and g-i-t, but missing in spec) appointment-new contact-new document-new mail-message-new tab-new (same as bookmark-new) window-new Unfortunately there are no icons for the "plain object", i.e. the named icon: address-book appointment ... This is really strange. Plase consider in fact, that if you are using a -new icons in you application, for istance bookmark-new in "Add Bookmark" button and menu item in your Web Browser, you [could] need also a plain, no -new icon for bookmark, to use in a bookmark properties dialog or as favicon for bookmarks without a custom favicon in bookmark manager. Same for PIM application using address-book-new, contact-new and appointment-new. Solution Add plan, no -new icons to spec, and add them to Tango simply removing the blinking star from existing icons. PS Maybe there are no needs for a "tab" named icon, but a "window" named icon could be useful (windows without an icon, "window list"-like applets...)
I don't think there's a need for individual icons for many of these. For instance, contacts are stored in an address book. There is an icon for address books. See the MIME type x-office/address-book. Document, calendar also have these, and appointments have the same relation to calendars, as contacts to address books. I don't think there's a specific need for a mail-message or tab or window icon.
This is true, it could be a duplication. Even I fell strange to use a MIME type icon for instance as launcher icon for adressbook application. But duplication is worst. I still disagree in: * contact is not addresbook * appointmen is not calendar Case: Evolution dialogs to edit a single contact or appointment. You can't use "contact-new", because the item yet exist. IMHO use here the addressbook or calendar icons is wrong, 'cause you are viewing or editing an item inside addressbook or calender, not the addressbook or calendar itseft. This could be really bad, for instance, in window switcher: when you press alt-tab, both the addressbook and the editing/viewing contact have the same icon. IMHO "x-office-contact" and "x-office-appointment" (good names?) are zero cost icons for artists (simply the contact/appointment-new icon without blinking star) and a good addition for developers and users . * bookmark Of course web brower applications could provide their own icons, but in this way we will have the same icon to add a bookmark and different icons to manage them. Is it good for users? Due to the same zero-cost reason for artists (simply remove the blinking star), what about "x-office-bookmark"? (ps do you think "mail-read" "mail-unread" could be used as "mail"?)
