GitLab

Goal: Create an icon set which use a consistent style (currently different themes are mixed) and which is also available as dark theme variant.

Two variants are possible:

• Follow the Breeze theme guidelines
• Use an own icon theme

Ideas:

• Define some icon guidelines (see GitLab Iconography for an example)
• Define a colour schema
  • Use a linter which ensures that only colours from the colour schema are used; this allows to e.g. generate a dark theme variant
  • Define colour meanings (e.g. red for content that is removed, green for new content, blue for modified content)
• Define icon priorities
  1. Icons which have a tool button
  2. Icons from the default (Breeze?) theme
  3. Remaining icons
• Check which icons should be dropped (use text only instead of wrong icon)
