Calligra/Icons/3.0
Legend: TODO, DONE, ??
Existing icons in Breeze:
edit-table-cell-merge edit-table-cell-split edit-table-delete-column edit-table-delete-row edit-table-insert-column-left edit-table-insert-column-right edit-table-insert-row-above edit-table-insert-row-below
The naming pattern for action icons (as I understand it):
edit-OBJECT-ACTION(-MATERIAL)
"edit-" as prefix because content is changed. Then there are "format-" icons for changing the style of content. And state icons, though there is slight mix with action icons, as target state is also used with actions.

delete_table | edit-table-delete | used to delete the whole table/spreadsheet | ? |
|
dissociatecell | edit-table-cell-unmerge | or use edit-table-cell-split? | ? |
|
selection | edit-table-select-cell | used both for selecting single cells and cell ranges, but single item in icon is standard? | ? |
Kexi also has table icons (but db vs. spreadsheet?)
- Note (Jstaniek (talk) 07:23, 12 November 2015 (UTC)): Spreadsheets have sheets (strictly speaking); db tables are different especially when it comes to the meaning and behaviour of columns and rows. This of course does not have to be always reflected at the level of icons. Ideally we'd like to have the "Kexi table"-related actions here synced with the new table object's icon of Kexi [1].

Escape directions:
Shapes can be connected with lines. The lines enter/leave the shapes on a certain side, ideally orthogonal to the surface. It can be controlled on which sides of a shape connection lines can enter/leave.
"escape-direction" is ODF lingo. Are there more common terms for this?

Types:
There is a set of preinstalled animations. User manually (not supported by UI) can add own animation definitions. Each animation is represented by a symbolic icon, either rendered on-the-fly by animation data (like path) or from prerendered icon fetched by iconname.
Animations are organized hierarchical in groups, with 1 or 2 levels, by type, and each group is shown with a symbolic icon as well.
Current top-level categories with pre-installed animations:
- entrance animations - shape is not part of scene before, is part when animation is done
- exit animations - shape is part of scene before, no longer part when animation is done
- move animations - shape is part of scene before and after, possibly different location or parameters changed
There should be another category actually, at least for the "movie_credits_animation" animation:
- passing animations - shape is not part of scene before and after
Second level: the type of motion and deformation, like zooming, flying, falling, etc.
Third level (for some): subtype with variants of parameters, like direction of flight, origin/target of move or speed.
Existing icons are done as expected for the first and second level, with one icon per type (some missing). Examples: "entrance_animations" for 1st level and "fly_in_animation" for 2nd level. There are some icons reused for 2nd-level types across 1st-level groups, like "zoom_animation".
For the 3rd level though icons are reused across the groups as created by the upper levels. They refer generically to the parameter variant, like "horizontal"/"vertical" or "in"/"out". Example: "horizontal_animations". Many icons missing.
Approach with parameter-type-style icons for subtypes/3rd level surely makes sense, using combination of 2 icons avoids explicit icons for any possible animation type. Possibly sometimes even existing action icons could be used here, as animation aspect is not needed in the 3rd-level icon itself.
Proposal:
Naming pattern "animation-1STLEVELTYPE-2NDLEVELTYPE", to make use of fallback to less specific icon names if present. Example: "animation-in-funkyfunky" would have "animation-in" as fallback. And "animation-color" would have "animation" as fallback. So no longer reusing icons across different 1st-level categories. That should allow to use the 2nd-level icon as single icon in lists of applied animations (assuming 3rd-level as detail to be ignorable iconically).
1st-level icons:
| old name | proposed name | description | state | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
entrance_animations | animation-in | shape enters the scene from outside and stays once done | ? |
|
motion_path_animations | animation-move | shape moves by a given path | ? |
|
exit_animations | animation-exit | shape leaves the scene and is now longer present once done | ? |
|
emphasis_animations | animation-emphasis | none preinstalled right now, shape possibly somehow highlighted | ? |
|
custom_animations | animation-other | none preinstalled right now, "other" possibly better than "custom" | ? |

Presentation tool icons
The "pen" icon is also used for the cursor. Breeze cursor theme has a pencil . Qt::CursorShape has no pencil variant. How to check if there is a themed cursor variant (and how to get it), before setting own hardcoded icon?

Shape icons
- inconsistent naming pattern
- are objects, not actions, should be rather colored like file type/mimetype
- those for fixed shape look (flower) should reflect look instead of being iconic
callout-shape circular-arrow-shape cross-shape ellipse-shape flower-shape gearhead-shape hexagon-shape musicshape pathshape pentagon-shape rectangle-shape smiley-shape spiral-shape spreadsheetshape star-shape stateshape x-shape-3d x-shape-chart x-shape-connection x-shape-formula x-shape-image x-shape-text x-shape-text-artistic x-shape-vectorimage enhancedpath -> shape icon unused, because never fetched due to variants
"shape-choose" is used for action, is "shape" a proper term also useful for other apps using these icons?
Tool icons
- inconsistent naming here
- possibly should be all named as action icons
- some inconsistent naming in breeze icons, "tools" vs "tool"
