missing icon for the Std Transform tool

[uwestoehr]

Once you guys get a consensus I can provide icons.

My proposal is to have at least icons for Std_TransformManip, Recompute, Mark to recompute and Rename.

The first one a normal menu entry and there is no reason why this one should not get an icon, the other 3 would help in the context menus to quickly find them.

For Recompute we already have an icon: https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Std_Refresh, so this should be taken as basis for the new Mark to recompute icon.

And here is the PR that adds it to the context menu: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4686

Isn't it a bit counter intuitive to use the same icon for different functions? TechDraw e.g. uses at least some other color.

Std_Refresh is available in the toolbars for every WB. That TechDraw uses a similar icon in green is already the case:

Std_Refresh and the update icon of TD

But the TechDraw icon should be changed, not the one of Std_Refresh.

BUT, the situation with TechDraw is: Since I am involved in FreeCAD and I haven't yet heard about a complaint. So I don't see that we have to act. People can obviously distinguish the icons well by their color.

What about this proposal for Std_TransformManip.

That's just my argument: different functions - diferent icons; similar functions - similar icons.

Cool!

I agree with you that it is not optimal. But as Werner pointed out, we need to focus.

But when @bitacovir has time and fun to change the TechDraw icon:
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/TechDraw_RedrawPage
fine with me.
@bitacovir, would you change that to distinguish it better from the Std_Refresh icon?

Looks Good. Is a good compromise to keep the color scheme but to change the layout.
