u/enefi made the new icons for us cause the old ones were blurry.

I agree they need to be less film noir when unchecked but that's just a tweak needed, over all it's going in a good direction imo.

I'd like to see the bulb larger, without rays when off then with thicker more visible rays when on, for both light and dark versions.

I like that the rays are white over dark and black over light.

Bonus points for adding a central white gradient from the center of the bulb outwards to yellow.

IMO the face needs a dark outline in light mode when voted active. I'd also change the non-voted face to a neutral expression (o_o).

Alternative to the grey icons could be a yellow circle and bulb silhouette outline.

I'd like to see both the unvoted inactive light versions be lighter grey and dark versions darker grey for more contrast when voted active.

I could have done all this faster than it took to type this.

I really want one bulb in a hundred to flicker, but only infrequently.

Learn to code.

I was a programmer, I don't do it anymore.

I it's partially a joke. No need to be so serious.

My joke answered his joke.

You're butting in. It's an open forum. We're free to do that. Most of my new messages today are from you, clogging it up with inconsequential timesuck. Make your messages count more if you want authentic interactions. Reflect before you post. Or just do what you want.

Don't bother responding to " inconsequential timesuck...."

Have to agree with the operator of the 'socks' account. It appears to just be about trolling and presenting false leftists narratives, so resisting the urge to reply when you have anything else to do would be to your benefit.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

But you always respond, Jason. Don't bother responding to " inconsequential timesuck...."

    Jason seems prickly at times...

    Oops, typed that in the wrong place, Jason asked why I didn't learn programming.

    Jason seems prickly at times.

    It's important for him to accomplish something and he feels he's running out of time. That'd be my nickel psychoanalysis.

    Sometimes I wonder: WTF are you (J) arguing with us when you could be putting all this work into a major project? I've told him as much, but alas....

    i'm too blind to notice the old ones were blurry. But why not just fix the blur?

    [–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

    A lot of us don't have good enough eyesight to think anything of the old icons being blurry. I didn't either. But when it was mentioned I noticed.

    But why not just fix the blur?

    D3 said something about an accident. I don't think there was an easy way to clean up the originals.

    I don't think there was an easy way to clean up the originals.

    I bet I could. 10000 hours in MS paint and all that. why didn't they ask?

    This place isn't run like a corporation (eg. Conde Naste). Someone proposed a good approach to icons and it was accepted.

    [–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    The small icons were blown up and thus blurry on phones.

    Making them vector images would have been easy. Making the code accept vector images may have been another thing all together.

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Yes - and they're much better now

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Yes - and it's good to see that votes bring live and color to the page; if they're grey, that's the fault of the user not voting

    [–]Tom_Bombadil 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    over all it's going in a good direction imo.

    Is it?
