Modify some menu labels - enhancement #45

Thank you for your clarification about my English translation, I will include it as soon as possible. I will also try to rework the icon; feel free to offer a source of inspiration. |

I close this issue but I keep in mind the need to rework the cookie icon one day. |
|
Just to give you one other data point, @ysard, the icon looks fine to me; I never gave it a second thought. |

Understood, maybe people are eating cookies with a different look in different countries: D |

Mr. ysard,
Here's a more visible cookie icon befitting of an addon like CQM. I
modified the one in CQM. If you like it & use it, please mention Ben Dover.
I sent it to your address, trying to avoid some flammers that can't
stand change that they're not particularly interested in.
If you need it in other formats or you need the "forbidden" icon w/ a
red 'X' across it, or need the 96 px size, I can do that.

ysard, When icons are reduced to 16x16 px, muted colors or small details become almost invisible. I could make it a whole round cookie in the same M & M's design or other, as lots of cookie-related addons use a cookie with a missing bite. CQM's cookie could be fresh & whole, not half eaten. :) Addons need something that's recognizable & unique. You could use the modern design for yin & yang (1st is 48x48; 2nd is 16x16)
We could do one in black / white or any color designs, like wavy lines of icing across the top. Sort of like https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/cup-coffee-chocolate-chip-cookies-on-75508834?src=5zj066G7-gPZY5yQ5yx5_w-1-100 These pages have lots of ideas. There's also a famous, real style / recipe of "Black & White Cookies." Half black, half white icing. |

Hello, please excuse me for the lack of responsiveness, I take care of many projects and it is difficult to allocate the best time on each of them... Unfortunately, I did not receive your attachment by email. First of all the icons requested by Mozilla must be in the format 48x48 and 96x96 for the visible icon on the site and in the list of add-ons in Firefox itself. Elsewhere, in the software or on the interface of Firefox they are effectively resized at 16x16. Usually I work in SVG and I get from this format the different assets I need. I don't plan to display a counter above the addon in the immediate future. I think it's important to see what the different ideas look like on the interface. I was more sensitive to a cookie with coloured sugar cubes. The main thing is not to advertise for Oreo :p |

Hope this gets to you. If you think you could get attachments of small,
graphics when replying to the reply to: address, let me know.
If you want it in SVG format, maybe you can tell me some settings to use
when exporting a png image to svg, in Inkscape (if you know anything at
all about SVG settings).
Here's a screen w/ some options when converting png to svg in Inkscape:
Don't know if you have Inkscape available, but each option has a tooltip
w/ useful info. I've never worked a lot w/ svg, so I'm not an expert on
options.
If you can get graphics in the body of your emails, here's one simple
one 48x48. Making it 48x48 or 96x96 is no problem. As I said, if /
when any icon is downsized to 16, if there were finer details on larger
sizes, they're usually lost.
So there's 2 choices. Make the design such that it remains acceptable
when downsized. Or, if you say Firefox uses 48x48 to downsize to
various sizes (toolbar might be ~ 16 x 16 or a bit more. Could make 2
versions in the 48 & / or 96 size. One would be designed
*specifically*, so when it's reduced to 16 or 20 px, the details are
still visible.
But that would mean designating which one to use where. I don't know
how hard that would be for you. But if you could do it, that's one way
to go.
I didn't spend much time on the one below trying to make it pretty. The
original "dots" on the image used in CQM weren't round or even close. I
just colored them using their original shape - rough draft.
Even it could be made so it stands out much more, with very little
effort. Thicker or darker border. A bit more shading; putting "shine"
or "glow" on a few places.
One idea I had, was make it a whole cookie or almost - w/ a small bite,
so more cookie is visible - regardless of the design or colors, instead
of 1/3 of the icon missing. Thus, 1/3 of the color / shape / attention
it draws is also missing.
This is 48x48:
This is scaled to 18x18px (svg w/ default settings). You can see what I
mean about details being lost. I may be able to scale it using higher
image quality, but to show up WELL at this size, it really needs a
little re-designing & a "mostly whole" cookie would show up much better
- at this size:

Here are some much improved CQM icons / images. I added the latest revised image to the Fx nav bar (downsized to 16px) & it looks better to me; much easier to notice & has more color. You said you usually worked w/ SVG, but Github says: doesn't support uploading .SVG files.
A dark border won't show up on a dark theme, but if the border is light, it won't show on light themes. That would only be solved by including 2 sets of icons & users had some option to choose the suitable colors. Very few addons do that. Perhaps making the entire background of the cookie lighter (with or w/o a border) & the bright colored "M&M's". If you have a preference for the border, let me know.

Hello, I would like to recomment the following UI changes Left click should directly open the cookie-quick-manager tab The option in the current left-click content menu, should be added to the right click context menu Here is an example of doing so from the add-on copy-tabs
These options used also be on a left-click context menu, which made using the add-on a 3 step process (click-decision-click) greatly increasing the cognitive burden of using the add-on By moving these options to the right click context menu, they no longer are an obstacle to using the add-on's main features while the right click context menu now contains shortcuts for advanced users. |
Just some suggestions.
Wouldn't "Cookie Quick Manager" option be better described as something like "Manage All Cookies"? We already know it's CQM - describe what (any) option actually does.
"Delete Current Cookies" might be better described as "Delete Current Site (or Domain) Cookies"
"Delete Current Site Local Storage" instead of "Delete Current Local Storage" (see below).
In English, "delete current..." generally means all data currently in (local storage, or what ever), which would include all sites that had stored anything, unless stated otherwise. But it actually means the current selected tab.
The toolbar CQM icon doesn't look like a cookie - even on a large, Hi Def monitor.
Maybe someone could find an non copy righted one.
At a normal viewing distance, to me it doesn't look like anything. I've used it a while & it still doesn't register what it is, though the icon isn't the most pressing issue.
