 Description   

With "switch actions" I'm referring to the "Edit page"/"Preview page" actions for toggling between editing and previewing a page. In our icon set, these action have an arrow shape (icons: 049-switch-preview, 050-switch-edit, 051-switch-review).

These icons have the problem that their inner icon (the eye for the preview or the pen for the edit action) are too small and not well readable. We should fix that.

Please try to:

  • increase the font size for these icons until the icon either gets sharper or the inner icon is at most as large as its counter parts in the action below
  • if this doesn't work, we might want to replace the icon with just-the-eye and just-the-pen icon (or possibly their inverted variant) for the Developer Preview. In this case, we will rework the icon for the final release.

Please let me know what your font size research brings before taking any additional decisions. The goal is to make the existing icons work, since their shape is well suited for our toggle actions.
