Description
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.
