Modifying playground icons for you?

Off topic
1

This is a post concerning the playground.

For fun, Started to modify the SVG of the icons used in the playground by adding some clarity colors to it. Asking you guys if I should further modify them all… to be added in the playground BUT I noticed how the SVGs way they are made is inconsistent.

In bref, do you know if it’s possible to put in some static color for example: a green fill for the play button, blue diskette save button, grey options button, etc?
OR anyone know if the app change the group tag fill color value of the SVG?

OH and I’m feeling good I only use JS not TS. . . so much red :c
BTW: I loved how someone added DARK THEME TO THE DOCS! :smiley:
Just wish I could help more maybe with these icons?

You should feel exactly the opposite! :slight_smile:

I’m very curious what could you come up with! Any screenshot available already?

I read a few days/weeks ago that there are plans for a brand new Playground led by @PatrickRyan You could talk to him about the new icons.

Thanks for that :hugs:, We are forever in need of more people wanting to contribute. May be you could start by sharing your icons with us? Though, I sure don’t want to play the advocate of the devil here :imp: :face_with_hand_over_mouth: or discourage you from contributing in enhancing the experience/interface (not at all, trust me :innocent:), however… as per my ‘small’ experience (of creating many icon sets over 30 years of design)…‘color coding’ is mostly not just global; It’s also culture based and regional. In essence, the visual representation (shape and design) of the icon takes over, at least, at a global scale. Changing the color to blue or green has only very little impact (again, in my opinion). I believe the choice of icon design in the interface are mostly fairly representative of what is commonly known :thinking: (again, at a global level… again, in my opinion :wink:).
I’m not saying :zipper_mouth_face:…there’s always space for improvement :nerd_face:. Reason why I’d say: Before pushing this all too far, may be just let us (and the Team) have a look at these icons?

Thanks again for your enthusiasm and your will to contribute and meanwhile,… have a great sunday :sunglasses:

Speaking of which…

This is like extinguishing a fire by turning off the fire alarm. :upside_down_face:

It’s sunday (and holidays? :beach_umbrella:), right ? …So, I thought I could laugh a little longer with this meme (note @SkyOps117 , we’re not laughing at you… not at all… it’s mostly a private joke and to be honest, I’m only learning typescript now :face_with_hand_over_mouth:… just don’t tell anyone :grin: :joy:

Dont worry @SkyOps117 , i will be on your side for regular JS , I recently read this online :

If there is hard statistical data that using untyped JavaScript vs. TypeScript means that productivity decreases by any significant amount (if at all), then I wouldn’t mind the verbosity of TypeScript.

However, there is no such evidence, and quite frankly, I personally am convinced that untyped JavaScript is more productive.

( ps i can code other languages , like c# and i know the arguments for types and interfaces and generics etc… , i just dont care to want to have to create so much extra code … )

anyway , to the topic on hand, i personally would not like the icons to have different colours. To me, that design style is dated. The current uniform highlight colour is good modern design

Types prevents property misstyping thus reduces ‘hardly’ debuggable errors. Honestly, how many times do you misstype a property name in JS and wonder wtf is it not working? :smiley:

9

… i copy and paste the variables … :grin:

i know im stirring the pot and i did mention i understand the benefits due to knowing c# from working with Unity engine. Regardless i find im capable of living perfectly fine without them.

Maybe if I was creating huge code bases and API’s that had many many other developers working with it , sure. But I dont work in that context.

I can still follow the principles of an interface logic , without the compiler enforcing it, and without having to create the extra interface code… im the only one working on my code.

( and if someone else has to work on it when i die … AI will probably be able transpile it to typescript or whatever else pretty soon )

Did you want to hurt yourself because deep inside you can sense the superiority of TS? :smiley:

TS folks, they be still typing the type value where I would just use 3 type at all? :sweat_smile:

const TypeJS = [Number, String, Object];
console.log("Change my mind we only need 3 type like \r\n" + TypeJS);

Ok, had a look at the icons, but (sorry :pray:) I’m still not convinced. First, if you use a black stroke, what would be the color of the bar?
Then, these colors are also very ‘basic’. There’s no real sense of ‘graphic design’. I mean, let me make this clear: For each ‘graphic design’ created for a brand/company, we are not just making ‘design’. We are essentially making design to support (eventually ‘sublime’, if possible) a ‘brand identity’.
Fact is, I cannot sense the ‘microsoft’ nor ‘babylon.js’ identity in these changes (Again, my opinion only. And again, sorry if this is not just what you wanted to read).
I mean, I’m simply honestly sharing my AD position/xp in graphic design opinion. Take it or leave it. To me, in this business, we are not doing ‘art’, we’re doing ‘business’. As I often told my apprentices or juniors: “If you want to make art and your own creations… Become a painter :art:, a writer :open_book: or a composer :notes:! Anything but a "graphic designer” :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

yes i mentioned in my post that the current uniform highlight color is good modern ui design. Probably not something the OP wants to hear but my opinion is also based on professional experience. So personally I would strongly disagree with having the icons changed to these colored ones.

@SkyOps117 I was just reading our answers again and… just to make this clear: Neither me (nor I believe anyone here) wanted to be ‘rude’ :pray:). I know it might feel ‘frustrating’ when you engage/commit to a project and then you get a sort of negativ feedback. Honestly, I get this seven times out of ten :sweat_smile:.

On the other hand, I believe it wouldn’t be fair to let you continue spend time and efforts on something which has only little (very little) chance to make it through. I’m sure your skills and enthusiasm can be put to much better use.

There’s plenty to improve here and there’s also plenty for you to experience and make your own personal projects where you can unleash your creativity (like I sometimes do, when I’m frustrated from working the design to support the goals and identity of others :smiling_face: :face_with_hand_over_mouth:)

Also, there’s a time in the process when it’s relevant to work on an aspect of design (or development). If there is already a ‘rebranding’ process/program taking place (is there?), working the color coding without having performed (or knowing of) the base of the new design is just a waste of time (your precious time :hourglass_flowing_sand:).

Finally, there’s this other thing: In terms of UI, one should never underestimate the power of ‘habits’. Users get used to a visual (a method, an approach)… to a point where after sometime, anything that disrupts this habit becomes a barrier and can bring frustration and other negativ feelings. It’s very hard to create a seamless revolution in UI (or gameplay). Even the biggest studios and the (pseudo) experts fail in doing this nine times out of ten. And for what potential benefit? I’m pretty sure that once you will have used the PG more often, you’re not even going to look at the icons anymore. After a while, it will become ‘instinctive’. You will know that the first button is play, the second is save and so on… You won’t even look or care about the icons anymore… because, that’s the way WE (simple humans) record the information. I’m pretty sure that if we were to invert the sequence, many people would start to express their unrest and disapproval. For this could only be done with a very good reason, coupled with a new user experience (with a 50/50% chance of success/failure).

Last but not least, sorry if we somehow ‘polluted’ :oil_drum:your post with our ‘thoughts’. But it’s basically what the Off topic category is here for. Not to pollute of course :grin:… but to let us just openly share (and eventually confront) ideas and opinions. For the good :innocent:, always for the good and the bright side of the force :crossed_swords: :smile:
