Is it possible to add to the next freecad?

I like this one.
Better if it can be made conform to FreeCAD UI style.
Also better if it applies to both the toolbar icon and the treeview objects.

Hi, Sure. I'll apply the FreeCAD Art format on this option . I will back in a couple of hrs.

Dear openBrain. I found a similar tool in the MeshWB https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Mesh_FlipNormals with an icon.
Rather than your proposal. I suggest to use the mesh tool icon as convention, with some changes to match PartWB GUI. This way we keep consistency between FreeCAD workbenches GUI.
This is my proposal:

Looks good @bitacovir. Honestly I won't decide for anything. I'll let the original requesters do.

Hi, I like the new icon very much, in my opinion it really shows what the command does. Good job and well done!

I've got a feature request though. In my mind a more straight forward name would highlight what this command does, therefore I like to suggest to change the name to "Flip normal/orientation". I assume this command also flips orientation of a line/curve?
And a new icon in the tree somehow involving an arrow of some sort.
And a clickable arrow in the 3D-viewport attached to the marked line/curve/plane/surface.

Exactly my point!
"flips the normal" is the explanation, i.e. denoting/naming the command "flips the normal/direction" is more informative than the current denomination.
