Bug Description
Binary package hint: human-icon-theme
Some background. I use Gnome in its 'spatial' mode and rely heavily on spatial characteristics: placement of objects, their color, form and texture. Given this I use emblems a lot and before Edgy they played a big and good role in easiness of access to screen objects.
Edgy brings new shiny emblems that have a unified look. While beautiful, it reduces usability of emblems very much because it makes all emblems to be:
- of one form
- of one color
I propose to bring back previous emblems (at least) or draw new ones. I perfectly understand that drawing so many emblems in different colors and forms is much harder than current set with schematic pictures. This is why I think that returning old icons is a good option.
I've found that the nature of this issue is hard to understand for the majority of users that use Nautilus as a file browser with 'list view' and use emblems as an occasional eye-candy. But for us, crazy spatial addicts, this is really a major thing. I'll attach two screenshot of my home folder, one with edgy's emblems that makes everything indistinguishably orange and one with old emblems that help you to pick a needed icon in no time.

I totally agree. You can't distinct them.
