[Gpg4win-devel] New icon for Kleopatra?

[Andre Heinecke]

Hi,

Alessandro Longo recently added a new Icon for Kleopatra to KDE's breeze Icon 
style. (Thanks!!)

I generally like the Icon, but I'm a bit unsure if we should use it in Gpg4win 
as the Icon for Kleopatra in Gpg4win-3. 

Here is a screenshot of Kleopatra on Windows 10 with various Icon sizes. The 
small icon in the topleft corner of the Kleopatra window is also used as the 
tray icon.

Old: https://files.intevation.de/users/aheinecke/kleo_icon_old.png

I like about the new Icon that it has some crypto relation (with the text and 
the numbers) and that is less "brightly colored" generally I find it an 
improvement as I always wondered what this "Humanisation" of the software 
tries to communicate (maybe that it is about people).

I think it could be improved in the small size by removing the Text and 
Numbers in the background background and just use the eye on the colored 
background.


A problem with the new Icon could be that the eye is a religous symbol (as is 
the eye of horus which is used in this image) and a use of this could be 
offensive for some.
Also the old Icon has been there for some years now and users are used to it. 
(Although it might be nice with Gpg4win-3 to have a prominent visual update, 
too)

Opinions? :-)

Andre
