Icon sets in the new conditional formatting dialog are great. At the moment, there are just a few different icon sets available. Please add "Smilies" to these icon sets, 3 smilies from "Smile" over "Plain" to "Sad". If license allows it, these smilies-sets on Openclipart fit very well: Option A: http://openclipart.org/detail/100759/smiley-by-zorro (the third, the fifth and the seventh in the list) Option B: http://openclipart.org/detail/30217/tango-face-smile-by-warszawianka http://openclipart.org/detail/30229/tango-face-plain-by- http://openclipart.org/detail/30223/tango-face-sad-by-warszawianka Option C: http://openclipart.org/detail/22384/emoticons:-simple-face-by-nicubunu http://openclipart.org/detail/22390/emoticons:-worried-face-by-nicubunu http://openclipart.org/detail/22388/emoticons:-sad-face-by-nicubunu
Valid feature request. Putting Markus on CC.
Let's add the UX people into this one. I think the feature request is valid and it makes sense but the UX team should have a look at they should decide which design to use. If you have more additional icon sets that you think are nice to have please open a bug report and put Astron and me in CC. @Astron: What is your opinion here? can you/the UX team create a set of smilies or provide me with a link to some that fit nicely into the existing icon sets?
I love option B – it's Tango style already and Public Domain too, so we really only need to fish the appropriate 16*16 PNG files from the Tango icons TGZ [1]. We would also probably have the option to use Gnome's (updated) Tango-style icons, which would probably look a bit snazzier – however, those are under CC-BY-SA. We already include icons under this exact license, though. These can be found at [2]. Ideas? [1] http://tango.freedesktop.org/releases/tango-icon-theme-0.8.90.tar.gz , inside it look in the folder 16*16/emotes [2] http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-icon-theme/tree/gnome/16x16/emotes
Astron you know that I will happily implement what you/the UX team thinks is perfect. I have nearly no design skill. If you tell me that these 3 icons are ok I can add them.
Happy, you like it :-)
> Astron you know that I will happily implement what you/the UX team thinks is > perfect. I have nearly no design skill. Haha, great! Markus, I was mostly referring to the licensing, though. However, I just compared the Tango ones to those in Gnome, and they are almost the same, so using the Public Domain ones seems the natural choice. I.e. see the files 16x16/emotes/face-{sad,plain,smile}.png from inside of: http://tango.freedesktop.org/releases/tango-icon-theme-0.8.90.tar.gz

I fear we will have that problem in all of the 16x16 versions. I'll code an initial version and attach a screenshot.

If you are fine with how it looks I will happily implement that.
Hi Markus, sorry for the long delay... I and agree there are some problems. Maybe it would be an option would be to go with more recognisable emoticons from the set, e.g. we could use * :o ("surprised") for "sad", * use :D or :)) ("laugh" or "smile-big") instead of "happy" * and keep "plain": :|
Aren't option A and C easier to recognize than the Tango ones?
Created attachment 76500 [details] example-with-thicker-mouths.svg (of couse, I refer to the options in the original bug entry) Option A by Zorro is probably the best to recognize. It would be even easy to make the lines of the mouth a bit thicker to have it easier to recognize. An example attached
Created attachment 85444 [details] Smilies with thicker smiles
Created attachment 85445 [details] Smilies with thicker smiles and different colours
Dear Markus, dear Stefan, I added attachment 85444 [details] where I changed the original smiles with bolder smiles. I think it should now be much better to be recognized if downsized to 16x16px. I played a bit more and created attachment 85445 [details]. These are the same smilies like in the previous attachment, but with signal colours, green, yellow and red. I actually like them most :-)
Are these smilies your work or are they based on some other work? We need to be a bit careful and check the license before we integrate anything into master. Especially since we need to distribute them for OOXML compatibility during OOXML export into the file. I need to talk to our license guru about the best license for these files.
(In reply to comment #15) > Are these smilies your work or are they based on some other work? They are based on Zorro's work here: http://openclipart.org/detail/100759/smiley-by-zorro I think this is the license for all openclipart cliparts: http://openclipart.org/share I made some changes to Zorro's work (thicker smiles and in the second set different colour settings).

Ok can you then please send the icons to the developer mailing list with a statement where they come from and that your modifications are also public domain/CC0? That would allow us to use them also for the OOXML export. After you did that I will push at least a patch that allows the use with the ODF filters.
They are implemented now in master and are included in the daily builds. Thanks a lot Gerry for the design work. I#ll work on the OOXML import/export when I have some free time.
