Description Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2011-04-28 06:54:25 EDT
Gerrit reviews should have a icon decoration to easily distinguish between tasks from other systems and gerrit reviews.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-05-07 20:41:28 EDT
We have been very careful with vendor branding in the UI. Generally, we only show that for repositories. Agreed though that we should have a review specific task decoration.
Comment 2 Benjamin Muskalla CLA 2011-05-12 16:46:40 EDT
I think it makes sense to use a generic "review task" decorator across all review implementations.

How about this? ;)
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-05-12 17:14:23 EDT
Not a bad idea. I like it better than the glasses that we have been using elsewhere but it might be hard to distinguish from the standard decoration for stories. I'll bring it up on the next Mylyn call.
Comment 5 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-06-16 17:31:29 EDT
We discussed this on the call today and had some concerns that the decoration is too ambiguous. The conclusion was to try an eyeglass decoration as an alternative.

three sizes of the standard glasses icon
Comment 7 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-07-15 20:12:49 EDT
Thanks Mik. I'll add that as a decoration.
Comment 8 Mik Kersten CLA 2011-07-18 13:17:02 EDT
Could you post the result?

Comment 10 Mik Kersten CLA 2011-07-22 02:21:15 EDT
Not bad.  Kinda hard to see that they are glasses, but at least it's a standard Eclipse icon.
Comment 11 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-08-11 13:47:28 EDT
Yes, it's not easy to recognize the glasses but it's distinguishes review tasks well and it's easy to remember once you have learned the icon. As per the review on today's call I'll mark this bug as resolved.
Comment 12 Sam Davis CLA 2012-06-18 18:07:29 EDT
I never would have guessed that those were glasses. It seems kind of pointless to use a "standard" icon if it's unrecognizable. Maybe a magnifying glass would be easier to see?
