the Human "cancel" icon is not appropriate

Bug Description

I believe that gnome's default "cancel" icon (a red cross) is more meaningul, the "cancel" icon provided by the human iconset would be more appropriate for the "revert" action (for which a very similar icon is already provided). Just take a look at the non-sense this "cancel" icon might lead to :)

what should that yellow arrow stand for? a red cross would make way more sense here... mmm perhaps it's just the gparted developers who should have used a different icon here, based on the icon's "meaning" and not on its looks?

In fact, you should fill this bug in gparted, which should use the gtk-yes and gtk-no icons.

ok josue, i'll be filling the bug report for gparted asap, suggesting the gtk-yes and gtk-no icons should be used instead, but i still do believe that the "cancel" icon is way too similar to the "revert" one

this issue has already been reported on the gparted bug list:

bug 43390

should we mark this one as a duplicate then? still i do believe the "cancel" and "revert" icons are too similar IMO...

I think they are similar because they have a similar meaning.
I have suggested using a red colour for this icons.
 I also suggest using the same icon, rotated and green to apply, using the green v and the red x for yes and no actions.

those icons were removed from tangerine-icon-theme, so this bug doesn't apply any more, closing
