[Bug 73023] Re: Round orange emblems have lack usability

[Christoph Noack]

Hello!

Why is this one rejected if it could be fixed relatively easily? For me,
these icons lack usability and it's use does not significant enhance the
productivity ("First, read the folder's name. Then understand the
emblem"). The rest has been discussed very useful in the comments above.

Just for demonstrating how much use is made of similar graphical
elements in Ubuntu; small icons with extensive use of orange: Settings
Icon, Home Location, Connect to Server and Search (in menu locations),
Ubuntu Application Icon, Internet (Application Menu), Deskbar Icon,
Firefox RSS-Icons, Trash, Close-Buttons, Ekiga Icon, Users and Groups
(Administration Menu), Online System Documentation (Help Menu) ...

Most of them do not differ much in shape and color. I'm sure many people
(for example older ones) cannot distinguish well between those. Maybe
this has not been considered when sabdfl decided to include these emblem
icons to this operating system. If I'm wrong, I would like to ask for
some explanatory statement, because I feel that the decision was
inaccurate.

Thank you in advance! Christoph
