[Pharo-project] [ANN] Eclipse Icons for Pharo
Hi, Today I was bored and not wanting to think too much... but I wanted to do something for Pharo... and I never liked the current Pharo icons, so I took one icon library I really like and changed all needed icons (well... all that I saw). Here a couple of screen shots: Of course, I don't think they are perfect (also maybe I didn't pick the best icons), but I think they look a lot better than the older. If you want to see how they look, this are the packages: for Pharo 1.3: for Pharo 1.4: Then you execute: ThemeIcons initializeIcons. World resetWorldMenu. ... and enjoy your new icons :) btw... this icons are in an open-source license, the EPL: http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html so, maybe âif all agreeâ, we can add this icons to regular distribution :) best, Esteban
I like them a lot! Alexandre Le 10 déc. 2011 à 23:15, Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm@gmail.com> a écrit :

Great initiative! I personnaly don't like each of them, but these icons form a big, consistent set and make a good modernization of the UI. We should take this as a start and go over all missing ones, and maybe add a few unique once. Thanks. Sven
Hi Sven, yes... first consecuence of this is that I will be able to produce a list of needed icons for pharo... Other think is that I really don't like the way they are organized... they are all on ThemeIcons class side, and maybe we should have a strategy, to allow us to switch between different iconsets... anyway... this is a first step, I think a goo one :) cheers, Esteban El 11/12/2011, a las 6:04a.m., Sven Van Caekenberghe escribió:

Some specific constructive feedback: the ones that "don't work" (IMHO) are the debug and profile icons. Overall, great job! ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] on behalf of Sven Van Caekenberghe [sven@beta9.be] Sent: Sunday, December 11, 2011 4:04 AM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] [ANN] Eclipse Icons for Pharo On 11 Dec 2011, at 03:15, Esteban Lorenzano wrote:

Esteban I know that feeling :) :) Now I'm not sure that I would like to carry the Eclipse License around in Pharo :) What are the other icons sets we could use with a nice license and we do it :). famfam? We should clean also the old icons because some are really old. Thanks for pushing that. I would love to have new icons for Pharo. Stef On Dec 11, 2011, at 3:15 AM, Esteban Lorenzano wrote:

Hi Stef, yeah... I know the license issue. Real problem is that eclipse-icons is the unique icon set I know developed for a programming environment (even if it is a ugly one like java, eclipse is a really interesting platform to take ideas from âsee glamour, if nothing else :) Because of this, we can find in eclipse-icons almost everything we need (maybe doing some extrapolations, but well... nothing is perfect ;) Other icon sets (of those I know, like oxygen, tango, etc) are thought for windows desktops (ubuntu, kde), and they don't fit well in Pharo (at least I can't think in a way of doing they fit in). Anyway... I know the license issue is important, I just would love to see our Pharo with a modern icon set (current icons are just not good at all: too old, too childish âwhich was a good thing at a time, but not anymore). best, Esteban El 11/12/2011, a las 6:38a.m., Stéphane Ducasse escribió:

Sure but we would like to avoid to have more license. I would prefer a CreativeCommons license because it is simple to understand and is not related to code. Stef On Dec 11, 2011, at 4:45 PM, Ben Coman wrote:
The EPL does not seem the same show stopper as the GPL since the Eclipse License and FAQ indicate it is not viral like the GPL. There is no requirement that an EPL licensed program combined with a non-EPL licensed program requires the combination to be licensed under the EPL as a whole. In fact it is designed to allow distribution of closed source commercial applications based on it while keeping the common base open source.
FAQ#17 actually says: "When incorporating a portion of a Program licensed under the EPL into my own proprietary product distributed in object code form, can I use a single license for the full product, in other words, covering the portion of the Program plus my own code? Answer: Yes. The object code for the product may be distributed under a single license as long as it references the EPL portion and complies, for that portion, with the terms of the EPL."
Complying with the terms effectively be satisfied by: 1. "sources" be available "just for the icons" 2. Disclaiming warranty and liability - which the MIT already does 3. Assumedly no patent issues arising from inclusion of icons.
