GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171301
add more stock icons so you use less memory and programs look more alike (better HIG)

Please describe the problem: these icon could be used by a lot of apps since the user icon could also be used to repesent an account. I think this could be used by gdm, user config apps, evolution, gaim, etc Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

From the POV of an AbiWord developer it would be good if we had stock icons for - Bullet List - Numbered List these are very likely useful to applications that also use the existing font B/I/U and align left/right/center/justify stock icons.

Contacts TODO/Tasks Calendar Mail http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/libgnomeui/libgnomeui/pixmaps/stock_mail.png?rev=1.2&view=markup can't find them in the evolution cvs. Does anyone know where I can find them.
when looking at gaim I noticed these that I think could be interresting for other apps too: #define GAIM_STOCK_BGCOLOR "gaim-bgcolor" #define GAIM_STOCK_FGCOLOR "gaim-fgcolor" #define GAIM_STOCK_TEXT_BIGGER "gaim-text-bigger" #define GAIM_STOCK_TEXT_NORMAL "gaim-text-normal" #define GAIM_STOCK_TEXT_SMALLER "gaim-text-smaller"

Also note that translators are tired of translating basic vocabulary like "_File", "_Edit", "View, "_Go To", "_Undo" and "_Redo". These could easily be added to GTK+ as GtkStockItems.
I guess these are the most importent one's: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-standard.html we should stick to the HIG in my opinion

if this patch gets accepted I'll do the same for the other icons
There may be other arguments for adding stock items, but at least the "icon memory saving" argument should not be an issue anymore. With icon caching, themed icons should not use more memory than stock icons, and it is shared between apps, too.
Patch 66219 applies cleanly. Reviewing it would take little time. (Working on http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2007-March/msg00148.html)
There are new icons in epiphany for bookmarks. The original intention of adding more stock icons is still valid though. Patch seems ok. http://live.gnome.org/GtkLove/PatchTriaging spam.
