[Talks] Reccomendations for icons to label?

[Stephen Giggar]

James

That will depend on the phone that you have! Their may be icons in the calendar, icons for the 
wireless lan as far as signal strength and when it is secured, icons for Speed dial when you are 
viewing a contacts information, icon for when something is on the memory card or not, Icons for 
priority of email etc...

It takes some creative thinking and paying attention when using the object viewer for the icons. The 
labeling of the icons for the wireless lan on the N82 initially took me about 1 hour to do being I 
had to first figure out what they were for before I could label them. People on this list who I have 
passed the wireless icon lables onto can verify that they were quite useful for the N82 for English 
users.

But like I said; You will just need to look around with the object viewer and see if you can notice 
icons that change wen you do something within the program that you are currently using.

Their is no way to tell you what to look for.

Also when defining icons; When you are able; You should define them only for the program that you 
are currently in and do not make them global. That away you can share them with someone else who has 
the same phone model and who may not have them defined for that program.

Also be aware; Sometimes the icon will change if your phone has the ability for the font to be 
changed like the N82 does.

Example: the LOG detail screen has 3 icons for it and they changed from Large, Small and normal 
views. so instead of having 3 icons; I ended up having 9. three for each font size.

So if you want to define icons to be shared with others; Try to cover everything you can think of!
