Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.
Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.
Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

@lessbloat has started new rounds of user testing – one with coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. as-is, and one using the Crowd Favorite code and San Kloud for the theme so that all formats are enabled. Will be reviewing and posting those when they come in.

We’re going to go ahead and get patching so we can test and iterate, and still looking for somebody interested in creating icons. @rachelbaker will be working on the form itself and switching. Would love a volunteer or two on data retrieval and theme usage functions, but will likely be looking at that myself in the next couple of days.

Plated around with some more concepts tonight, based on some ideas @lessbloat had in UIUI User interface chat:
Default
Hovering over a different icon

  I kinda love these concepts Mel!

  Just as a heads up, we’re looking at changing the icons in adminadmin (and super admin). Ben Dunkel is working on some flatter ones that will scale better. I like the idea of these matching those, but we’ll probably want to match the new ones.

    Hell yeah, that sounds fabulous. If I can get a copy of any of his new icons, I’d be more than happy to design some new post format icons.

Also — does @empireoflight have vector versions of the adminadmin (and super admin) icons? Those would be very helpful for creating new post format icons.

Continuing with the thought of modeling after the Crowd Favorite pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, could the data retrieval code be similarly inspired?

  I’m unclear on what in the CF code would inspire it.

    I was thinking of the function naming…If we are talking about supporting a standard custom post format functionality, we could model the data retrieval functions on the Crowd Favorite pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

The icons are all in psd format, made of shape layers, so they’re kinda in vector format. You can download theme here: http://bendunkle.com/wp-admin-icons.zip

FYI, I’m designing some new icons in a more flat style, that I hope to post as a patchpatch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. on tracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. in a few days…I’ll post a preview later today.

  That sounds great! I’m really looking forward to seeing the new icons.
