aoAaron 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/5125/screenshot20120517at141.pngHi, I've just noticed today my evernote webclipper icon is no longer green but has this grey border? Is this normal? Is there anyway to change it back to normal? thanks! Link to comment
tardis 87 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The icon was redesigned. It's normal. Link to comment
Owyn 457 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Yeah. This change came with the just released 5.4 clipper.No idea why the change was made. Link to comment

dem 3 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It's really ugly. Please consider bringing back the green. Link to comment
Nyanta 2 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thank goodness I managed to find the answer here. I've been used to a green web clipper icon for some time. When I noticed it had gone grey that immediately got me worried that the plugin had somehow failed. I must admit that I liked the green icon better. In the world of Windows, when something like this happens it usually means the program behind the icon has busted. Go away grey, bring back green Link to comment
Lord Bear 4 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I also just noticed this and thought the plugin had failed. Please bring back the green. A) It's part of your brand identity - didn't Marketing tell you about that? Your icon is now hard to find/see. Many browsers are moving to grey backgrounds by default - In my Chrome setup your button icon all but disappears from lack of contrast. One of the things that continue to befuddle and annoy users is when companies make seemingly arbitrary and nonsensical decisions. Perhaps a simple explanation about the justification would help people appreciate what sense it might make. (Riiiight. A company that bothers to talk to it's users about their decision process...) -- Bear Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,319 Posted May 19, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted May 19, 2012 personally, it doesn't bother me a bit, and i am quite fond of gray. evernote's whole ui in the macverse has gone gray, and this complements their app. but, bear makes a good point. i apologize. LORD bear makes a good point. the lack of contrast could be a problem, especially for users who have sight problems and already have trouble finding things. the green elephant is certainly distinctive and part of the brand identity, so evernote might be losing out on the benefits of all of the consistent branding they have done so far. as for discussing design decisions with their users, i'm ok with evernote trying it out on us in beta mode or something like that. 23 million users seems like a few too many cooks in the kitchen Link to comment
spg SCOTT 736 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The firefox one changed a while ago...initially I was a little confused because I looked for the green of the button (when I was clipping), and didn't see it, so had to properly look for it. I guess I have gotten used to it now...but would like the green back Link to comment
easye 11 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have to agree, as a Windows user the grey button color is not that great. I'm very used to seeing the green button. PLUS, if you use a dark theme for your Chrome browser, it makes the button just about invisible. This can be rather frustrating: Link to comment
Jeff510 95 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I actually like it. The dotted line around the edge is more descriptive of the function as a clipper than the regular old icon was. Link to comment
Lord Bear 4 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I actually like it. The dotted line around the edge is more descriptive of the function as a clipper than the regular old icon was.Um, what does a dotted line have to do with the color of the icon? In other words, they could make the elephant head part green again, keep the background grey or transparent, and retain the dotted border. Link to comment
Jeff510 95 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Um, it doesn't. I just said that I like the design, and gave a specific about it that I like. I'm really not concerned about the color.Although, I will say that the dotted cut out line probably stands out with better contrast against the transparent background than against a colored background or on the edge of a color.

Cajetan 2 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Look here for your favorite icon: http://www.softicons.com/search?search=evernote+green Then follow these instructions: http://lifehacker.com/5801293/customize-extension-icons-in-google-chrome (The icons you'll have to look for are called web-clipper-16x16.png, web-clipper-16x16@2x.png, web-clipper-19x19.png and web-clipper-48x48.png. In my case it worked just by replacing the 19x19 png.) Have fun! Link to comment
