Icons in 2.0 Navbar?

I'm continuing my work on 2.0 themes and I see that icons for courses and activities have been added to the navigation breadcrumb. Can someone please explain why these have been put there? I find them to be an unnecessary distraction and will probably hide them using CSS if they stick around.

Hi Patrick,

They are simply there because the navbar now gets its information from the navigation structure in Moodle rather than just what the page gives it.

Currently you can get rid of them in two ways:
  1. Hide them using CSS (CSS)
  2. Override the base renderer (PHP)
If we change it over so that by default they are not rendered AND someone wants them they can still get them by overriding a the base renderer.

I'll leave it up to the themers to decide this one, I have created MDL-22072 to gather opinions/votes, it all are in favour of the change consider it done 微笑

+1 for Patrick. I noticed this on my moodle 2.0 dev site and thought it was a bit peculiar.

I may like or hate icons in navbar but why do I have to force others to have my same feeling?
my +1 to use a config settings
$THEME->iconinnavbar = ...

or maybe...

$user->showiconinnavbar

At some point, Moodle needs to start making restrictive decisions for the sake of its own design. Nobody has provided a logical argument why these icons should be included in the navbar. What purpose does it serve? If none, then it should be eliminated. A setting will only create noise.

Update: MDL-22072 has now been resolved, icons are no longer shown on the navigation bar by default 微笑

For anyone looking to add them back in you can override the core renderers navbar method and remove the switch when displaying each item to hide the icon if there is one.
