GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 681996
different icons for junk/non-junk and farther from trash/delete icon
Last modified: 2012-08-17 11:07:17 UTC
I deal with a lot of elderly people. I set them up with Linux and Evolution because it typically meets their needs without having to install 13 different anti-virus programs. That said, they get COMPLETELY confused between the trash can and the wadded up piece of paper especially since most of them wad things up before they throw them in the trash. Can we both change and move the junk icons? Perhaps a can of spam? Something which isn't associated with trashing an item? How about a Russian Gulag (sp?) a place where things were sent to disappear? These seniors, and quite a few younger people, are having real problems choosing between the two when they are deleting things on their own.
Junk and trash icons are determined by your desktop theme, not by Evolution. You might try finding a theme that represents them differently.
That won't move them farther apart on the tool bar.
Moving icons is basically covered by bug 254097 hence marking as duplicate. If you want to change icons yourself, you could replace "mail-mark-junk.png" and "mail-mark-notjunk.png" if you have administrator rights. For example on Fedora they are located under /usr/share/icons/gnome/ ... /actions/ If you want to change the order of items in the toolbar yourself, you could edit the definition file if you have administrator rights. For example on Fedora they are located under /usr/share/evolution/ ... /ui/evolution-mail-reader.ui Items should be in <toolbar name='main-toolbar'> </toolbar> and named <toolitem action='mail-delete'/> <toolitem action='mail-mark-junk'/> <toolitem action='mail-mark-notjunk'/> Hope that helps. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 254097 ***
