I guess you mean on the head :) On Fri, 13 Apr 2001, Emmanuelle Gutiérrez y Restrepo wrote: It is necessary to edit general principles on the illustrations. For example, if icons are used, these they will be: - Homogeneous along the page or the site, as for their style. Yes, this is important, and is part of "predictable interaction" - what is called consistent navigation in WCAG 1.0. - The color in them will be sufficiently readable (it contrasts, etc.) In particular, use a small number of colours, that contrast well. Perhaps using different colours for the foreground of different icons is a good idea, too. - It will be kept in mind the size. Yes, size is important. It would be nice to use scalable icons - I discussed techniques for doing that a while ago in relation to having text in them that could be styled: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001JanMar/0125 Also, it is important that if the guidelines are illustrated, serve as example of "good practice". And it is important that the guidelines are an example of good practice as much as possible. Regards, Emmanuelle cheers Charles McCN
