There's KDE software (might be a Linux-wide thing, idk) that changed it to a down arrow pointing to a rectangle. I don't like it. I really don't fucking like it.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Me neither, it looks like it should mean "download".

Those icons probably come from the default breeze dataset

That's not true, this is the current version on Arch and it's a floppy.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Huh, interesting. It's probably my icon theme, then. I'll check when I get a chance.

Got me real curious. What app? Care to share a screenshot?

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Here are the icons in the default text editor in Mint Cinnamon. Save is the third from the left (the first 2 are New and Open).

[–] harsh3466@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 days ago

I wouldn't peg that as the save. It looks like a download button. I get it within the context of skumorphism, but that down arrow icon already pretty universally means download.

That's ugly af, and first time I've seen it.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I don't think it's "ugly", but the first time I used that editor (with the new icons, that is--it used to have the traditional icons) I was like "Where's the damn Save button?" I had to hover over them to get the tooltips so I could tell. The Open button is just as bad--it looks like it would be Print!

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

It may not be aesthetically displeasing, but functionally so.

[–] neonred@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

That screenshot looks disgusting. Unsharp font, irritating icons, weird fontset. Is that GNOME and/or Ubuntu? Terrible.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

My Fedora KDE native applications do. But downloaded software still uses the floppy icon if those developers want to.
