Regarding the rotate icon, perhaps making the arrow go just half a circle round or less (and maybe add a dot in the middle) instead of a full round like now might make it less reload-like? Just a thought. All reload buttons I've seen are nearly full-circle, since it's supposed to suggest a cycle. Rotation on the other hand I think becomes obvious as long as there is enough arrow to show that it's going around a circle.
And I like the rotate feature. New users I've shown it to so far liked it too. I think people like to tinker with things, as long as it doesn't get in their way. My hunch is a good number of people will be unhappy if we took off rotation. ---- Jason "moofang" Lim Yuen Hoe http://yuenhoe.co.cc/ On Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 9:07 PM, nuno pinheiro <n...@oxygen-icons.org> wrote: > On Tuesday 07 September 2010 13:48:53 Markus Slopianka wrote: > > On Tuesday 07 September 2010 12:11:52 nuno pinheiro wrote: > > > let me ask its the other way arround, why not? > > > > "Because we can" is the worst possible reason for anything. > > > > > does it create visual cluter? no.. > > > Sure it does.
