GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 611480
Provide an alternative for a missing stock-lock and stock-unlock
Last modified: 2010-06-14 15:25:53 UTC
Many apps use the lock icon in many contexts. The two most common ones are 'prevent change' and 'secure channel'. We already use the shield metaphor for the secure channel case, I would recommend using either security-medium or security-high for this. The other case needs to be addressed and the padlock works quite well as a metaphor. I suggest we introduce the following status icons: changes-prevent changes-allow and provide the mapping for stock-lock and stock-unlock
Those names sound very appropriate for the use that PolicyKit currenty makes of stock_lock and stock_lock-open, thanks.
I just commited the two status icons in gnome-icon-theme which will be released in 2.29.1. Stock_lock is already being symlinked to security-medium in icontool though. PolicyKit should look up the new names if the context is more about preventing changes rather than communicating security level. Reassigning to PolicyKit to make sure the new names are being looked up instead of stock-lock and unlock.
Created attachment 163598 [details] [review] patch Here is the patch I put in our rawhide package to use the new icons. Ok to commit ?
