Spyder 3 icon theme changes

[SylvainCorlay]

As per the suggestions in #2527.

• IP: for the ipython logo
• keyboard icon for the keyboard shortcuts
• a new icon for coloring theme, it is not a palette, but an eyedropper. The advantage is that it is a font-awesome icon.
• question-circle icon for the object inspector.

I have not changed the command prompt / terminal icon yet because it is used in different places, I need to be sure of what to replace.

Great job! Any thoughts @goanpeca?

[goanpeca]

Looks cool ! 👍

Now using the Python logo for the console config session as asked by Carlos. Ready to get in.

I have one suggestion: the IP: icon seems a bit too big next to text to its right. Could you make it a bit smaller?

[SylvainCorlay]

In that instance only or all the time? The former would require adding a special entry in the icon manager, and I thought the problem with the previous one was that it was too thin...

[ccordoba12]

What about this: framing the IP: symbol inside a (transparent) rectangle with the top and bottom borders a bit thicker, that represents the console? I mean, something very similar to our current IPython icon :-)

[SylvainCorlay]

Well, that is not very "flat design" like font-awesome icons.

[ccordoba12]

I don't understand what you mean. The icon would be similar to

http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/behance-square

or

http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/google-plus-square/

i.e. text inside a square (rectangle in our case) but with the colors inverted.

[ccordoba12]

Another example:

Maybe we can create our IPython icon as these ones (to follow FontAwesome aesthetics :-), i.e. a white IP: over a black rectangular background.

[SylvainCorlay]

OK, I see what you mean. I will add something like this.

[SylvainCorlay]

@ccordoba12 done!

[SylvainCorlay]

Merge?

[ccordoba12]

The IPython icon is a bit blurry when used in our console tabs:

Can you do something about it? I say it because the other icons look crystal clear ;-)

[SylvainCorlay]

It is probably due to an icon size in the tabs that is not pixel perfect...

[ccordoba12]

So merge? Or could you take a look at the icon size on tabs to see if we can use 16x16 icons there?

[SylvainCorlay]

I can check, but I will be very busy this week.

[ccordoba12]

Ok, merging then ;-)
