Yaru: Missing icons: checkmark and close-X action icons

[Feichtmeier]

In the Ubuntu installer (ubiquity-frontend-gtk) there are green checkmarks showing up if you filled a field successfully :heavy_check_mark:
Those are still taken from the Humanity icon theme and could use an update

It looks like two symlinks are also needed. As a bonus the X-icons could also be updated

The list could be:

Positive checkmarks:

• [x] dialog-apply (THIS is the icon, the rest are "only" symlinks)
• [x] dialog-yes
• [x] dialog-ok
• [x] gtk-ok
• [x] gtk-yes
• [x] stock_calc-accept
• [x] stock_mark
• [x] stock_mail-filters-apply
• [x] stock_yes

Negative cancel X icons

• [x] window-close (THIS is the icon, the rest are "only" symlinks)
• [x] cancel
• [x] dialog-close
• [x] dialog-no
• [x] dialog-cancel
• [x] button_cancel (with _ not -)
• [x] gtk-close
• [x] stock_calc-cancel
• [x] stock_close

@ubuntujaggers and/or @madsrh please have a look in /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions

Regarding the checkmark ✔️ there's two options:

or...

The second one is most in line with the Canonical design specs we will be discussing next week. Moving the checkmark inside the textfield isn't possible, right?

I think not, it should be a widget feature, but afaik gtk entries don't have check image inside.

We could simply symlink to the emblem icons:

but perhaps these should also be revisited and updated with these? This green is #0e8420

Thinking about it: if we have a lot of green ticks and red X's that are symlinked, the origin file shouldn't be the Dropbox ones because those icons are too app-specific. As it happens the two Dropbox emblems are currently very generic so it works but we might change things later (e.g. if Dropbox develops its own widely-understood glyphs). So, IMO best practice would be:

• Clone the (lovely) Dropbox emblems to make icons for dialog-apply and window-close, which will cascade through symlinks to the other use cases

• Consider whether we want to make the Dropbox icons symlinks instead of having two identical icons in Yaru.

Doing a branch for this now :)

We might want to base this on the Canonical design. Which is slightly different and slightly darker. See the links above

EDIT: But it's a good point not to use Dropbox.

Should we wait till after design fest then?

Well, it's just the two icons so we can always change this later

:+1: And all the folders/symlinks will still be made and work :)

[madsrh]

Also missing is the view-refresh.svg and it's symlinks

[Feichtmeier]

It looks like we've missed one symlink
