High contrast application icons in the launcher are ugly and very similar

[Ilan Tal]

The launcher icons for Nautilus and the workspace switcher are almost identical and ugly. I'll include a photomontage of the high contrast icons and the ambiance ones. Can't these be improved? The original icons are very nice.

The status bar for high contrast is very nice, nicer than ambiance. Just these 2 icons are ugly (in my personal opinion).

Thank for reporting this bug report to make ubuntu better. Marking confirmed.

The High Contrast theme I am familiar with, has 2 quite different icons for Nautilus and the Workspace Switcher. The High Contrast Workspace Switcher looks almost like the default one (shown on the right of Ilan's image), but then in black and white. So maybe the link between the application and the correct icon is broken?

By the way, I am working on updating the High Contrast icon set, see here for more info: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=151928 (work in progress though).

Is that still a problem?

I long ago went over to Radiance. Just went back to check high contrast and it is better than I remember. I can certainly see a difference - just they are no longer second nature anymore. I returned to Radiance. You need a comment from someone who actually uses it, and that is no longer me.
