Call to plugin authors: svgs in JOSM

[Holger Mappt]

Hi,

Is there a JOSM icon style guide? What elements should be used to depict
different actions? E.g. I want to express move, that would be crossed
arrows like in the move map mode icon, right? Arrows in all directions
is zoom in/out or full screen. Do colors have a meaning? What are
recommended page sizes for map mode icons and menu icons?

Are there recommended icon sets that can be used as reference and that
have the right license to copy items?

Thanks,
Holger
