Description (last modified by )
I am working on a project which uses a list of yes/no icons:
See here: https://www.craftware.info/projects/share/public/django-admin-icons.png
I really have a hard time to process these icons. I think, yes/no buttons are the most basic type that should be easy to view for people like me as well.
I do not know if there is a design guide for django, I only know that these admin yes/no icons are seemingly taken from the font-awesome free set? If that is the case, may I suggest to switch over to the "square check" version for the "yes" icon? That would change the shape of the icon, making it easy for people like me to see the difference.
See https://fontawesome.com/search?q=yes&ic=free-collection for an overview of the checkmark versions in the free font-awesome library.
Happy to fix this myself if this is greenlit, not knowing the etiquette here as this is my first issue.
