Upgrade Thanks icon
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Thanks uses an outdated PNG for an icon graphic. It also has issues with alignment.
Let's modernise this to an SVG to avoid this problem.

  • Remove CSS code in MobileFrontend that workarounds the lack of usage of mw-ui-icon

QA steps

General QA of the thanks on diff feature - make sure you are happy with the icon and the behaviour.

Event Timeline

@Etonkovidova the fix for T198151 introduced some technical debt which I'm keen to remove (see third acceptance criteria) and having spoken to a few designers it looks like the icon is incorrect.
Newly proposed icon is this (but in white):

Change 440258 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jdlrobson; owner: Jdlrobson):

@alexhollender can you and @Volker_E confirm you are happy with the asset change?

I've been asking on the patch if the icon change is willingly done?
When looking at the location and the use case, your choice, @Jdlrobson, makes sense to me – it's even better than before as the result is signified with the same icon.

Only small restriction is that it's a rather complex icon for a button. But as this is a very special, rare use case, I'm for it.

An old patch got merged so adding to the kanbana board to go through our process.
@alexhollender assigning to you for design review.

Checked with iOS and Android - works/looks as expected.

Just as a side note - the previous icon was visually consistent with the user icon: dark background and white face elements. Now, thanks icon has reverse - light background and dark face elements.
