I'll upload a version of simpler, white icons, I see your point, but I think the sarcasm was unwarranted.

white gradient icons. I can go full white, but let me know what you think of these first.

As said, I like them

and as you said, he's indeed right, but his sarcasm was not right.

May I ask you to do the full set ?

Pen
Eraser
Highliter
Hand
Ruler
'T' (or A) for Text
Undo
Redo
and the Color Selector.

So it's only missing Ruler, Text, Undo and Redo.

I'll try to implement support for icon themes in Xournal soon. Just give me a name for your theme.

And again, thank you !

Just a few quick notes as I'm just noticing this thread:

- a Xournal Fremantle version is dang near enough to make me consider getting an N900 (need ATT-3G though).
- the designed icons look great, espeically the shaded last ones; however, they do need to follow the Human Interface Guidelines for Maemo 5.
- should be interesting to see the menu system get simpler as that was my main complaint for the Diablo version. Hopefully, the navigation principles espoused in the HID also help out that aspect here so that there's even less of a need to design a menu for everything.

Here's an off the wall suggestion for panning: attach it to the accelerometer and the hand button. User press-holds the hand-button on the menu (bottom right perhaps), and then shifting the device physically u/d/l/r the screen moves in that direction. Releasing the finger from the icon locks the position. This would require tracking the device axis, but there's an accelerometer so that could very well be doable (and innovative).

Actually after the fourth page with tight text it already becomes difficult to open the document on N810.

I don't remember what version of Xournal I used on 770. On N810 it is 0.4.2.1, written by Denis Auroux, ported to Maemo by Aniello Del Sorbo.
The first port for Maemo was version 0.3.1 made by etrunko (Eduardo Lima).
I only adapted the UI and added pressure sensitivity support for the tablet.

I never used that version and I don't know which changes Denis made from 0.3.1 to 0.4.2.1.

Thanks for your kind words.

I'm considering putting the minimum (mostly file related stuff) into the menu and putting the settings for Pen, Eraser, Pages and so on in a stackable window.

I am planning to add a "Tools" button towards the end of the toolbar that pops out this new window with the tools options (like pen/eraser/highlighter thickness, colors [the base ones will be in the toolbar] and so on..)

Some of these options may be will open a new stackable window if they don't free, but I want to keep the level of stackable windows up to three (so that the user doesn't have to click too many times the back arror to go to its notes).

Whoops, I realized i was being a bit too harsh.
I apogolize.

Rest of the set coming up tomorrow.

If there is support for several icon sets should't joshua finish the set with more colorful Icons that reminded me of thr s60v5 menu icons?

I think you should redo the hand so it looks a bit cleaner/smooth, feel (free to trace mine), and add some blank space on the "pencil" tool to represent the "eraser" and "head" parts. Maybe some ticks on the ruler.

These small details would still follow the UI guidelines, but give the icons a much more polished look.
