I have a suggestion for the SVG for CarbonCopy. Could it be adjusted to have a solid line for the shape in the background?
I get the intent with the quasi-dotted line, but at icon size on the wiki the blue shape looks fuzzy IMO.
On the contrary the ToggleConstruction SVG is more crisp as its blue dotted shape is more uniform in its color combination (blue and darker blue).
To not have both symbols look the same the CarbonCopy could be say red and black or red and grey with the foreground shape, while the ToggleConstruction could retain the red/blue combination.
Example below, you can also see a "live" example on the Wiki on my user page.
Attached also the SVG.

Is it following the FreeCAD artwork guidelines?

Lets see if there is consensus to change this icon with a PR.

Re: Icon suggestion for CarbonCopy
why 3 sketches in the icon though? shouldn't it just be one white/black one white/red? Otherwise I agree.

Thought it could confuse someone if just two shapes were present as it is a bit similar to the aforementioned ToggleConstruction icon. But if the consensus will be to have just one copy, sure, why not? Can do an image with just one, will post it later today...adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 1:19 pm why 3 sketches in the icon though? shouldn't it just be one white/black one white/red?

Icon with just one copy in the background, 2 versions (spacing different).

IMO the current red and blue icon is easier to confuse with it.JoeKundlak wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 1:40 pm Thought it could confuse someone if just two shapes were present as it is a bit similar to the aforementioned ToggleConstruction icon.

Just brainstorming here:if the white one is in front I think it will be easier to distinguish, does it make sense putting that in front?
Re: Icon suggestion for CarbonCopy
Thanks for the initiative. This is exactly the issue I have with the current icons. All your suggested icons are a major improvement, I personally prefer the 3-shape versions.JoeKundlak wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 1:40 pm a bit similar to the aforementioned ToggleConstruction icon.

I cannot claim I invented the looks, I just iterated on JoshuaCall's icon (ToggleConstruction.SVG).
I too am more fond of the 3-shape design as it is more distinguishable to the many 2-icon ones currently present.
