Obviously not perfect, but I'm happy with the result. The tools and info in gnome-icon-theme are really nice.
At some point when the illustrious icon designers get a chance, it'd be cool to have a smart card icon in gnome-icon-theme. I imagine they'd want to fix it up or replace it. But for now this will live in the gcr library.
NLnet is sponsoring my employer Collabora to work on basic smart card viewing and simple management in Seahorse. Shortly I'll be posting more goodies coming related to this, including stuff that fixes up Seahorse for casual users as well.
I like it! Nice looking and easy to distinguish from other icons :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe replace text smart card with something symbolic, so it wouldn't cause problems with localization.
ReplyDeletecxl, Thanks! Hmmm, maybe I should use card number instead of 'smart card'.
ReplyDeleteThe big ones are nice, but for the two smallest, I think you should attempt to reduce size and detail of the yellow interface plate - to make the relative size closer to the real thing. Especially the smallest one looks weird to me.
ReplyDeleteSadly, that's a normal tradeoff with icons at 16x16 sizes.
ReplyDeleteI tried making the chip smaller and it just wasn't recognizable, although you're welcome to give it a shot and prove me wrong :)
Sure they look somewhat recognizable when you've seen the big one right next to the tiny one, but in general you'll only see one of these sizes at a time in an application.
As an aside, the 16x16 looks a lot like SIM card, which is one form factor for a smart card :)
