24491	"Admin's ""no"" icon is incorrect and should be replaced"	Daniele Procida	nobody	"The admin uses pretty yes/no icons: 

* yes, https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/img/icon-yes.gif, which displays as [[Image(https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/img/icon-yes.gif?raw=true)]]
* no, https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/img/icon-no.gif, which displays as [[Image(https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/img/icon-no.gif?raw=true)]]

The ""no"" icon is incorrect; [[Image(https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/img/icon-no.gif?raw=true)]] means ""no entry"", not ""no"".

This leads to some confusing interface cases: a boolean field called ""locked"" or ""restricted"" for example, will show a no entry sign when an item is **not** locked or restricted - the sign itself denotes restricted access to something.

While the ""yes"" tick is commonly-recognised, there is no good symbol for ""no"" - most negative symbols denote prohibition, and I can't think of any that imply simple negation. 

Even a red cross in a box [x] isn't adequate, because crosses are also used to check boxes in many interfaces, and some people are red-green colourblind.

My suggestion is to change both symbols, so that ""yes"" is a green tick in a green box, and and ""no"" is an unticked red box."	Bug	closed	contrib.admin	1.7	Normal	duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	1
