Rework progress information for document tasks - (Was: Remove icon from progress info bars?)
In the following screenshot, see the icon inside the GtkInfoBar, on the left.
There are other kinds of progress info bars in gedit for other operations. Searching the gedit code, here is the list of icons used inside a progress info bar:
- "document-revert"
- "document-open"
- "document-save"
- "document-print"
(the icons can be viewed with the gtk3-icon-browser utility).
Questions:
- Can I remove these small icons?
- What does the HIG recommend? With an icon or without an icon?
Reasons: the progress info bars are usually shown during a short or very short amount of time, and not having an icon there would slightly simplify the code (the less code the better).
(Technical details: I have the intent to deprecate GeditProgressInfoBar and use TeplProgressInfoBar instead, and currently with the latter there is no possibility to add a specific icon, although of course that feature can be added to TeplProgressInfoBar if the HIG recommends it).
