Materialdesign: account-arrow-swap

[sergiocarlotto]

Good morning, follow these two suggestions of icons.
I will use it to replace attributes in an account.

I have:

• [X] Searched open issues to make sure there isn't a request for this icon.
• [X] Followed the material guidelines.

Would account-switch not suffice?

[sergiocarlotto]

In this case the account is not replaced, the functionality in this case is to replace attributes of an account.

From a UX perspective, if it's not the account that is being swapped, then the account icon shouldn't be used at all and instead, one of the swap icons should be used.

I agree that a variant for the described purpose seems like bad UX.

About the icons themselves: I think the circular cutout doesn't work for this modifier, the gap at the top to the person silhouette is too narrow.

On a different note, should we update account-switch to use a similar silhouette as in e.g. account-multiple-minus (but the second person moved further to the right) so that we can add an outline variant?

BTW. is the original arrow slightly larger than what the grid suggests to make the ends look slightly less blurry at native size or something?

account-switch updated and account-switch-outline added.

Note: account-switch-outline replaced square-inc-box in the v5.0 release.

We won't be adding the original proposal and recommend using account-switch or another generic swap icon for your use case.
