and some proposals for data-types as their mathematical Set representation.
I don’t like them much and would be willing to rather copy the layout of “draw text” if you got its sources, or drop them completely if you rather have a pictogram than a letter.
proposals for the Blur layers, you could pick whichever you like most for the context menu entry “blurs”, use the three of them to have blur, motion blur and radial blur.
I tried to remain consistent with the “duplicate” layer icon of genete. any suggestion/improvement is welcome.
B. radial_blur_layer_icon.sif (19.8 KB)
and some suggestions for a few distortions. Let me know if you want me to go on in this direction for other layers or if you don’t like the idea that much.
I could go in other directions (such as more colors; representing the tool and not the effect; using another reference pictogram…)
Another question: are you OK with getting SVG icons instead of synfig ones?
I like playing with masks and it is not supported by synfig (yet? / afaik?) while inkscape does… so I’d rather use SVG for a few icons if that’s fine with you.
Sorry, must have been my mistake, but could you please tell me for which ones the .sif are lacking? I see them all… but for the original tango icons, which are definitely not available as .sif for now.
nevermind about maks… obviously I can achieve the expected result with “blend mode onto”… somedays I just wake up the wrong way
my question remains: would it be ok to provide for SVG icons… much more reusable (~standardized) than .sif ones.
Synfig export to svg would be great, by the way, but not on top of my which list!
Below a few proposals for filters layers. I’m not happy with all of them so feel free to improve. I’d use this “color correct” as the icon for the “filters” context menu entry.
B.
PS: edited to add corrected clamp filter icon with thinner contrast bar for enhanced readibility at 16x16px.
And proposals for the remaining distortions. I had to change the reference pictogram for “wrap” into a rectangle… for the oval didn’t highlight the effect enough to me… pick whichever you like most… and I’d probably use “stretch” for the context menu entry of “distorsions”, but that’s a matter of taste
B.
They are used at build time to render the different png images used in the application. Synfig should render them at run time so people should only need to provide sifz files, but at the moment it is that way.
Providing sif(z) files you are absolutely sure that your oiriginal artwork is not modified by any third person so there is not need to add any correction.
You can provide svg files too to include them in the wiki for future references. I defeat you to create a svg icon (not a complex art work) that I cannot emulate in Synfig.
… And how do you do the noise distortion, the spherize or the inside-out icons in SVG?

Thanks. I guess they are alright on blue-/grey-ish background, but useless on black or white background, so if you plan to change the overall synfig interface to go for white I need to know it soon
Here some proposals for the examples layers. (again: worthless on white bg). feel free to change the color to whatever you like.
B.
Sure you can, in that case rather use one of these updated icon for metaballs, to match the style of the tools icons.
I rather like the “simpler” uni-color ones icons from former post because they match what you get from using the tool… but if you want shades there you go
B.
and a new set for data types… again, any suggestion/improvement/idea for that one is welcome… as for the others!
I guess with this set the list of genete is complete, provided you reuse some of the tango set.
Do you need me to make .sif out of a selection of tango svg icons or can you (preferably!) directly use the svg/png provided in tango library? The list being complete should not prevent anyone from submitting more icons propositions, of course!
