I would like to complete all the missing icons of Synfig Studio.
Please fell free to paste your artwork here and critic any of the new icons proposals. Add the image and the source file please. It must be done using Synfig. Use any of the current icons from the source code as template and do not forget to add your copyright and license. IT must be GPL2 compatible.
Maybe at the end we can agree to add some missing icons to Synfig Studio.

I start with an easy one: Check board Layer Icon.

Hi Genete,
I'd like to help drawing those icons, but can you tell which icons are missing?

Hi guys. I'm not a great draftsman, but I would like to do something :) .

How can I do this?

Here is my attempt for time loop:

My critics:
@Animtim: Gradients are looking good. You, as me, took the easier ones. I would modify the curve gradient to look more like a curve than like an spot. Also you should consider to render to actual size (I think it is 12x12 or 16x16) to see how does it look. It is very important.
@Rafael: Nice hourglass. Time Loop is a non visual layer so it needs an abstract meaning just to be read with a quick look. I would add something like an arrow turning the hourglass indicating the loop. Why don't take the current Time parameter icon and add a curved arrow over the clock arms?.
@Both: You should consider the small sizes of the icons too. A very thin outline vanishes when scaled. B/W colors are preferred. Very small details are difficult to read when scaled.

As soon as I have a little of time I'll create the code for those icons and would show them in action.
Anyway, good entries!!!

-G

Hola.
Something like this?:

Theese are some ideas for boolean (true-false, on-off, 1-0) but this is more abstract than the time loop. The second one is an electric circuit (it represents on-off), but it does not see very well at 12x12:

Probably it could be kept without icon. :?

So I've modified the curve one as you asked, I also modified the spiral so that it looks better at small size.

For small size preview, I use to watch my folder in "List view" in Nautilus, so that each image is reduced to a very small icon (around 16/20 pix I think).

Edit the Document description and add:
Copyright (2010) @yourname here@. Released under @your license here@
License has to be GPL 2 or above compatible. I think that:
Released for Free or Released for Public Domain are the more used.
Also you can use GPL 2.0 or above as Synfig source code. Take a look to the current distributed sif(z) files in the repo.

I've modified my previous/next keyframe icons following your advice (look at my above post I've edited).
