796899 - [HiDPI] throbber

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[philippe (part-time)]

Attachment: Icons v1

In 64*64 and 32*32 sizes (the 32*32 actually is reusing the existing files). The smaller version (24*24) never existed…, I can eventually make it in the future, as I have the largest size in vector format, but it requires quite a bit of fine-tuning work.

Derek, if you have a moment, can you have a look at this ? At one point I thought it started flickering, but that could very well be my eyes staring to long at it, or my machine acting up a bit.
http://www.example.com:8080/ is a good test url that takes a long time to time out.

I've never found the lack of small size to be a problem, unlike some of our other toolbar icons (*cough* view-source *cough*) which seemed fuzzy back in the day before they had 24px members.

Every once in a while in 2x mode I thought I saw a frame or so look fuzzy when using the small size, but it's very hard to be certain.  I would not spend the time making 24px and 48px versions unless you are completely bored and have no other possible thing to do ;-) it's just not worth it.  In fact, I hope someday we'll fix bug 318786 and replace the animated mode with the OS throbber.

I didn't think it seemed to flicker any more than the current one flickers, either, as near as one can tell in simulation (for some definition of "flicker"; i.e., the old 1x and new 1x/2x throbbers look the same).

I know you put a lot of time and effort into these, but I have to say, most boring set of icons to review, ever: 13 frames of throbber :P

The new ones look great; thanks! r/icon-sr=ardissone!
