ndavis added a comment to T11093: Improve Consistency across the Board.

Regarding hamburger menus, I think Falkon/new Dolphin style is the best implementation because it gives the user the option to use the traditional menu or the hamburger menu. This is better for accessibility because people who rely on accelerators can enable a traditional menu and it ensures that the menu options will appear in the global or titlebar menu.

Keep the 24px icon for now. It's in Adwaita at 24px too, so there might be some app out there that uses 24px icons. When the repo is setup to generate 24px icons at build time, then we can remove all of the 24px icons. If you need to update it to match the 22px version, just copy the 22px icon, open it in a text editor, change the viewbox or document height/width to 24x24, then group the shapes:

I think we should still have 24px icons for compatibility, but since they're exactly the same as the 22px icons with wider margins, it might be better to generate 24px icons at build time.

While you're at it, we should auto-generate the dark monochrome versions at build-time. There's no good reason to duplicate all of them with only a single difference (changing the text in the stylesheet)

This is one of those monochrome action icons that happens to have a 24px version. The 24px version also has a small bug: the horizontal line at the bottom goes a bit too far into the area claimed by the clock emblem.

I can fix that too, or we could delete the 24px versions for simplicity's sake.

I love this patch, however I am curious as to why you moved the sidebar to the bottom.
Judging from your screenshot, it results in quite a bit of empty horizontal space.
Conceptually I think it is nicer to have the scrollable view go to the bottom of the window and have the details of the selected item be shown in a sidebar.

All right, let's scratch that. Maybe put a black trashbag on the ground on front of it? And add banana peels and buzzing flies! Make it really obvious that someone needs to take out the trash. :)

I just realized that the full icon is used when the trash has anything in it and not when it's full. Is this intentional?

Yeah. The full state is used when there's anything at all in the trash, not when it's actually full.

I kinda like the off-center clapper, but I understand how it might drive OCD people mildly insane. :) However the full-color icon theme notification preferences icon has an off-center clapper, so I think if we're going to make that change here, we need to do it there too.

Having said this, a centered clapper looks a bit odd to me. I wonder... so we even need it at all? The bell is still plenty recognizable as a bell without it. Maybe experiment with removing it entirely?

"cp: cannot create directory '': No such file or directory". The theme is there but my gtk's are missing the title buttons.

ndavis added a comment to D23464: Add breeze icons for ROOT cern files.

As @noahdvs mentioned above, the white background should be removed and the entire symbol should be made up of one filled path with no outline (!). This is important to keep the icon looking as intended with the Qt SVG renderer

He mentioned that the white background should be removed. He did not mention, that it should be made up of one filled path with no outline. ;-)

As for the 32px and 64px designs, I would much prefer using only two colors by placing white variants of the smaller icons on top of a blue document background.
I think this fits much better with other Breeze mimetype icons.

ndavis saw this differently:

I think we should use #1ed4e5 for the color instead since that's what the official logo uses. Normally, I'd say to use a similar Breeze-like color, but mimetype icons are a mess anyway and I don't think it's worth worrying too much about unless Breeze's official color palette is expanded.

If we go with your suggestion, I think the outer ring should be dropped completely as it distracts more from the root / original branding than it benefits IMHO, like that:

It looks "Breezie" to me. :)
