Fix wrong SVGs

[Michael5601]

As part of my analysis for introducing vector graphics in Eclipse, I discovered several SVGs that either contain issues or do not align with their corresponding PNGs. Fortunately, all these issues can be resolved by adjusting the SVG files themselves, eliminating the need for a pull request outside the eclipse.platform.images repository.

The following SVGs are problematic:

1. pinned_ovr.svg in org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.renderers.swt:

   • The PNG version is a different icon from the SVG. Upon opening the SVG in Inkscape, three distinct icons are displayed—one matches the PNG, while another is the one shown in the SVG. The current image area is set to display the SVG icon. The SVG needs to be changed so that the correct icon is in the image area and the others are deleted.

2. build_exec.svg in org.eclipse.pde.ui\icons\etool16 and its duplicate in org.eclipse.ui.ide\icons\full\etool16:

   • When opening either of these SVGs in Inkscape, you’ll notice that the text isn't converted to a path. As a result, different rasterizers will render the text using default fonts, leading to inconsistencies. This can be fixed by converting the text to a path with a single click. I dont know if there are other duplicates with a different name that have the same issue because these two Icons differ slightly so the duplicates can't be found by automatically comparing pixel values. However, the duplicate in org.eclipse.pde.ui\icons\obj16 with the same name does not have this issue.

3. participant_rem.svg in org.eclipse.team.ui\icons\full\elcl16:

   • When viewed in Inkscape, Chrome, or rasterized with most other rasterizers, the image appears compressed in height compared to the PNG. The PNG fits other SVGs like rem_co.svg in org.eclipse.debug.ui\icons\full\elcl16 and it's duplicate in org.eclipse.ui.console\icons\full\elcl16. An easy solution would be to replace participant_rem.svg with one of these versions of rem_co.svg.

The issues with pinned_ovr, build_exec (including its duplicate), and participant_rem are fixed in: #102

Hey @IamLRBA I appreciate your help but I already posted a PR that fixes the issue in #102. The PR is not yet accepted.

Thanks!

Hi, I am working on a project to include vector graphics in the icon processing of Eclipse. This enables a project to fix/remake all the icons used in Eclipse as the state of the icons could be improved. If you are interested in graphic design and want a big task in collaboration with the Eclipse UI team, this could be something for you. An improvement of this scope would have huge impact in the Eclipse Community.

Sounds great to me :) I will open an issue for this topic so we can gather some feedback and maybe split up the task in smaller packages. We also need to find out the requirements for a new set of icons.

I opened the issue. It would be great if you could volunteer to contribute to the icons with a comment under the issue so that the other contributors can work with you.
