2 Round table
2.1 Procedure for missing HC Icons
Now that the HC icons are all in the source tree, it was said that for any missing icons from now on
an explicit bug has to be submitted
the developer who is responsible for this has to send the original Icon to Stella Schulze, and Stella will send back a HC version of this icon, without any assumptions about naming conventions. This is to ensure that the full responsibility for check in, namings, and so on is with the developer, Stella is responsible for the artwork only.
2.2 Next Meeting
The next meeting will take place in 14 days, due to the bank holidays in germany
2.3 Color for Document Boundaries
The current color for document boundaries is sub-optimal. It does not allow to see the mouse cursor, if positioned over it (refers to text documents: here the cursor is the same as over the real document, not the usual pointer).
We can't simply change this, as it is a system setting. And we can't do it like a major competitor: There product avoids their own specification, and does _not_ use the system setting, but an own one instead.
The attendees agreed that it would be feasible to simply change the cursor. As the current shape suggests that the user can type in the boundaries area, which is not the case, this would make sense, anyway. CJ is to write a task for this.
