Strange choice of icons

Open nairu777 opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

More recent versions of the DevTools use icons for the tabs which are, in my opinion, not a good choice. A few examples of this are:

  • A bug icon for the sources
  • A wifi icon for the network
  • Unclear separation between console and application image

Thanks for your feedback. I'll raise it with the team. We haven't had other people comment on this so far though, and because this is highly subjective, it'll be hard to change anything just yet. We'll have to wait for more evidence conclusive to people being confused by the icons before we attempt any change. So, for now, we definitely keep this bug on file, and wait a bit more until we hear other concerns.

Thank you again.

Quick question @nairu777 just to make sure we have this right: is your feedback about the icons themselves (the shapes that we chose), or is it about the fact that some tools have icons only, and others have icons + text?

It's about the icons /the shapes themselves

Thanks for confirming.
