Kombine Icons in Firefox Concept Interface
I was just reading about plans for replacing tabs in the future interface design of Firefox and was pleased to recognize a few friendly faces in the crowd. Oliver Reichenstein of Information Architects has put together a concept UI which incorporates selections from our Toolbar Icons Starter Kit. Here’s the screenshot (You can see a full size version by clicking the “All Sizes” link on the Flickr page):
Most of the sidebar icons come from our stock set (along with a few from other sources). The icons look a bit squashed because they’re using the 32 pixel icons from the free set and scaling them to 16 pixels (Note: our pro toolbar icon set includes meticulously sized 16 pixel versions of these icons).
It’s great to see the icons being put to good use in the wild. Browser interfaces will doubtless evolve quickly over the coming years and we’re proud to be (even tangentially) involved in the discussion of where they should go. A few more threads in the conversation can be found at:
- Aza Raskin’s post on moving Firefox tabs to the sidebar (Aza is head of User Experience for Mozilla Labs)
- Frederic Lardinois’ article on a tabless Firefox with built-in Ubiquity at ReadWriteWeb
Oh, and Mozilla—if you’re looking for some new icon designs, we’re available to hire :-)
