did not misunderstand John's explanation. For the near term, I will be
compiling a list between now and MacWorld of common Toolbar
commands/artwork
that we, as developers, could use:
My list of asked for Toolbar item as it stands (with help from several
people):
Address
Attach
Back
Bigger
Burn
Colors
Already available (NSToolbarShowColorsItemIdentifier)
Computer
Connect
Customize Toolbar
Already available (NSToolbarCustomizeToolbarItemIdentifier)
Delete
Disconnect
Eject
Favorites
Find
Flag
Fonts
Already available (NSToolbarShowFontsItemIdentifier)
Forward
Get Info
Help
Home
iDisk
Junk
Make Plain Text
Make Rich Text
New
New Document
New Folder
I'm not in favor of these 3
Path
Preferences
Save As
Save As Draft
Save As Text
and not in favor of these 3
Send
Smaller
Trash
In addition, I think that a lot of the Preferences icons could and
should be reused. For instance, if your application has a "Sound"
preference, it does make sense to use the same "Sound" icon as Apple.
These also are kind of toolbar icons: for use in your preference window
toolbar.
I would particulary need:
General
Sound
Display
Accounts
Network
Internet
but I can imagine that many others could be needed as well.
To preserve the meaning of all these icons I think that the guideline
should be that they can be reused only with their original name. That
would prevent someone using the "Universal Access" icon to mean "add a
user" as is feared in the current UI guideline book.
