Description Joe Shaw 2004-01-29 17:55:05 UTC 
I couldn't figure out what the junk icon was, particularly in the toolbar.
 I think it's supposed to be a wadded up piece of paper, but the icon at
least at the small toolbar and folder tree sizes did not convey that to me
at all.
Comment 1 Not Zed 2004-01-30 01:11:50 UTC 
i have to agree here.

it looks more like an icecream to me :)
Comment 2 Rodney Dawes 2004-02-03 19:54:03 UTC 
It looks like a loogie from the Beavis and Butthead desktop game where
you hock loogies off the roof of the school. Fun game. Bad to convey
as "Junk". :) Adding the UI keyword.
Comment 3 Jakub Steiner 2004-04-06 11:15:02 UTC 
You may confuse it witha pile of * at the 16x16 size, but the
important thing is that it's clearly distintcive from the other icons
and easily distiguishable. Its silhuette is unique, so is the color.

Lowering priority.
Comment 4 Gerardo Marin 2004-04-26 18:16:47 UTC 
Reassigning to UI team who takes care of all this.
Comment 5 Gerardo Marin 2004-05-03 01:04:38 UTC 
danw says it looks like a blue bunny rabbit

If we change this, it won't be for 2.0
Comment 8 Rodney Dawes 2005-02-22 21:27:32 UTC 
Punting to 2.3.
Comment 9 André Klapper 2005-07-19 18:12:45 UTC 
changing component to "Mailer" to get rid of the UI component, also reassigning
as discussed with nags... adding UI keyword.

Apologies for any spam... cc'ing usability-maint on all Evolution usability
bugs. Filter on EVO-USABILITY-SPAM to ignore.
Comment 11 André Klapper 2005-10-20 11:59:21 UTC 
punting
Comment 12 Shreyas Srinivasan 2005-12-16 07:56:58 UTC 
FWIW, I dont like it either. It looks like everything from icecream, bunny
rabbit to tin tin's hairstyle, except junk. Is anybody actually looking at this ?
Comment 13 André Klapper 2006-03-22 01:29:35 UTC 
removing old 2.5 target milestone and retargetting to future - sorry.
Comment 14 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-29 14:22:15 UTC 
Closing as NOTABUG since we're using the standard icon names for junk now.
If it's still an issue, the icons need to be fixed in gnome-icon-theme.
