GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 348407
Too much blue in Epiphany (default) toolbar
Last modified: 2010-03-03 17:43:25 UTC
Please describe the problem: The blue color rules the color tonality of Epiphany toolbar. This could make difficult to distinguish the icons. Steps to reproduce: 1. Use latest g-i-t and ephy from head 2. Open Epiphany window (default layout) 3. browse two pages and go back (to Forward and Back are both available) Actual results: All icons are using a blue tonality Expected results: Different icons could use different tonality. I suggest to change some color, maybe home (dunno...) and refresh (green?), but keeping shapes Does this happen every time? Yes, of course Other information: Just to test, switch to Tango icon theme: as you can see back/forward icons are green, refresh is blue, home is white/red, zoom are blue. This help to visually distinguish icons.

mmhh..... but... Are Tango and GNOME themes using the same icons for zooms???
For the zoom icons, I think we don't have any in Tango yet, so it's falling back to the GNOME icons.

I agree with the general notion of having the icons distinct not only in shape, but also in color in addition. I will investigate the home icon for sure, and perhaps refresh as well.
Created attachment 78349 [details] testcase: the default epiphany toolbar using GNOME icon theme Screenshot updated using latest History and Bookmarks icons provided by Epiphany, plus a secondary toolbar showing all toolbar buttons with icon in Epihany. Maybe we can just update the "view-refresh" icon, using green or green&yellow.
Why evolution doesn't use the home icon of tango or similar. I found this blue home ion not so explicit.
navigation icons are white in 2.29 now. Closing as fixed.
