GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 519336
GOPA Short Term Task: Identify/Create 10 accessibility icon groups
Last modified: 2018-08-17 19:38:59 UTC
This is 1 of 5 similar short term tasks for GNOME Outreach Program: Accessibility. See bug 519313 for more information on the short term tasks. You need to complete 5 short term tasks in order to be eligible for prize money. The task is to work with the gnome-theme community to identify and create 10 icon groups for accessibilty. A single icon group consists of creating high contrast, high contrast inverse, and large print icon versions of a 'normal' icon. See http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/hig-diff/icons-design-accessible.html for more information on designing accessible icons.

I claim this task. Thank you.
where is a list of apps that need icons?
Start here[1], click on HighContrast on top, then click on category names to show current icons in HighContrast theme. Any red dot[2] is a missing icon. You could also appy "HighContrast SVG" icon theme in your GNOME Desktop and see what is not black&white [1] http://people.freedesktop.org/~jimmac/icons/ [2] excluded weather-* icons I provided for bug #519334 and icon I claimed for bug #519333 :)
In terms of prioritising which icons to work on, I would suggest: 1. Icons that commonly appear on the desktop (devices, standard locations: home, documents etc.) 2=. Icons that appear on the GNOME panel (notification icons, applets) 2=. Icons that appear in the Applications, System and Places menus 4. Application toolbar icons 5. Everything else On top of that, there's an implicit prioritisation that goes something like: 1. Icons that the user sees with a default install of GNOME 2. Icons the user might see having customised their desktop 3. Icons the user might see having installed additional software. But these are only suggestions of course; any icons that you'd like to work on would be gratefully received...
gnome-themes is not under active development anymore since 2011. As written in https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-themes/commit/4df81cf0a7fd8d3da6591c4c142f47dfd7778d5f , it is obsolete. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-themes/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
