web: Use meaningful icons in Storage proposal page #1152
Conversation
Icons that intend to represent the action's concept instead of how the UI is going to present the action to the user.
To somehow keeps the representation that the field is expanded or not. This should be considered a workaround and must be changed to something more expressive, meaningful, and usable: a "Basic View | Advanced View" control.

I like all the changes I'm just not sure about the icon for "Find Space". I admit it's a very challenging one, but I believe this one would fit better (absolutely subjective opinion): Or maybe also any of these other options: I understand none of them is great, but the one on this pull request looks too much like a searching functionality... which "Find Space" is not. |
I also was tempted on using the "Qr scan" one, but it's too tied to a widely known concept for using it. |

During the presentation of #1138, it was seen that the shadow icon chosen for some of the actions opening a dialog created confusion in some attendees when other no-iconized actions opened a dialog too.
Somehow, it was forgotten one of the principles followed in the Agama UI until now: an action (link, button, button dressed up as a link, menu item, etc) should be easily recognizable by users as an element they can interact with in the way they use to do it. I.e., it's not needed to identify if the action opens a dialog, navigates to another page, to another section of the same page, opens a menu, shows or hides a sidebar, etc, since the same action that today opens a dialog in the future might navigate to another page instead.
Proposed changes here fix the issue by replacing these icons with ones that represent the concept of the action or by none when it would hamper more than help. Keep in mind that icons are merely cosmetic aids for sight people, reason why the meaning of the actions must not be determined by them. The UI must still be meaningful if, for whatever reason, icons disappear.
Of course, the ones proposed here can be changed at any point when better suggestions arise. But remember that at this moment we're mainly relying on https://fonts.google.com/icons. We can change our mind in the future, but choosing a consistent library of icons instead of grabbing them from here and there. For example, Lucid icons could be a good candidate for a library replacement, but in a future PLEASE.
