Subject: Chronological and structural link icons
Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 23:55:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002301c52b44$7c5edf50$0200a8c0@sedrcw11488> (raw)
When discussing the icons in the Emacs toolbar we discovered that the GTK
stock icon items (http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/gtk/gtk-Stock-Items.html) does
not really distunguish between "chronological" and "structural" links.
With a chronological link we mean something like for example the left arrow
in Firefox toolbar. This takes the user back to the previously visited page.
With a structural link we mean those links that takes you to the previous,
next or up node in something structured like a table of contents.
It would be nice if you did distinguish between those two kind of links. My
suggestion would be to do something like this:
*** For chronological links use current GTK_STOCK_BACK and
GTK_STOCK_FORWARD. (Compare for example Firefox.)
*** For structural links (prev, next and up, maybe down) I would suggest
something like what I have informed is found in for example gthumb. The
icons there are arrows pointing into a document. It kind of make sense to
me - "moving withing the document tree structure".
Kind regards,
Lennart
