Thanks!

I changed it from email just because it applies to all the notification icons. I'm also going to file a tracking bug for other icons that I know suffer from this issue.

The watch icon was pointed out a while back to sync with mobile, but it still hasn't been fixed, super ugly on desktop, can't find the bug, Quim might want to do these as GSoC tasks since they're quick and uncontroversial.

@Design: We do still need an update or replacement for

• the "welcome (elsewhere)" icon (all projects that aren't WikiPedia)
• the "default/fallback" (for non-WMF sites that use the extension)

Afaik, the rest of the "proposed" column are all approved by design and PM (I think Fabrice?), and ready to be switched. We just need a Product Manager to approve an engineer spending time actually implementing the switch.

Nick, thats why I mentioned Quim, I don't know that these changes are priority for any team, Echo is Maryana (Core features) not Fabrice, but Flow it priority for that team, so perhaps a community member or GSoC student can do all of these but the two you mentioned in question.

See

Bug 35335 - Vector: Add SVG version of the watch star icon
Bug 54307 - Watchlist icon on does not match on desktop and mobile skin

Note: Google Code-in 2014 (the program of the many little tasks) was completed a few weeks back, and the next edition will start presumably on November. Google Summer of Code (the program if the few bigger projects) is not suitable for a task like this. Still, I just added the EASY keyword to iincrease its chances to be spotted by new contributors.

Then the priority of this bug should be low instead of high (or at least normal), since this field aims to simply reflect the current priorities.

@Pginer-WMF How much of this is this still true?

Not completely true.

The current notifications got extensively reviewed. I have been providing icons (in both SVG and PNG) for most of them.
So the most common notifications should be high-density-friendly.

Possibly missing:

• Welcome message. One of the few "default" notifications that was not updated.
• Icons for some specific extensions (e.g., education, gather) have not been updated as part of this process, but I don't know if they were already providing SVGs or not.

This was done, piece by piece.
