In the "Here's something you can drag" version, I think it's supposed to look like a textured indicator you might find on a tool or other real world object to show you where you place your hand.
In the Facebook example, I think the "..." icon would have been better and in the Twitter bootstrap, a gear would have been vastly more appropriate.
- sciurus 14y agoI agree that the usage in bootstrap is not intuitive. When I built http://jobs.eupathdb.org/ http://jobs.eupathdb.org/ it took me a while to figure out what it did, and I worry that visitors to the site with small browser windows won't notice or understand the icon and thus won't realize there's additional pages they could visit.
- jaxn 14y agoA gear would be incredibly inappropriate in twitter bootstrap. In bootstrap, that icon appears when the menu gets condensed due to a smaller screen size. It is access to the list of menu items. Look at the example on the Bootstrap site: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/hero.html http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/hero.html Making your browser window smaller makes the icon appear so that you can access the menu of "home", "about", and "contact". That is not a settings icon, it is a list icon.
