Update icon set with lighter stroke weight
Purpose
Per the exploration in gitlab-design#1432 (closed), the icon set will be updated to use a 1.5px stroke instead of the current 2px stroke.
Sample set
Process
- The icons will be updated in a single merge request that will be worked on over a longer period of time.
- While typically we update icons individually or in batches, since this is a holistic design update it makes more sense to do all at once. It’s a benefit to have the UI feel consistent and avoid
#is-this-know
threads when possible. - The resulting MR will be tested in the product with an integration branch (or similar method in GDK).
- A blog post and internal communication in Slack will go along with the update to help promote the change.
- GitLab icons Figma file → (Internal only)
OKR Tasks
-
Complete all icons in new style. -
Convert all new icons to symbols. -
Create merge request in GitLab SVG project with an integration branch to begin testing in the product. -
Set up icons as their own library separate from the UI kit file. -
Deprecate old icons in UI kit.
Out of scope
Pipeline icons won’t be included in this update.
