Why are tiny icons good abstractions?
- gitgud 2mo agoI assume they signal what menu item does what, to make it less confusing on different screen sizes. I.e. Large displays get “icon + label”, whereas small displays just get “icon”
- r0b05 2mo agoI believe it has to do with the size of the icons rather than placing the icon with a label. The AI trend is towards smaller icons. That being said, the more I look at the pic in the article, the more pleasing the smaller icons look to me. Perhaps we just didn't know any better.
