The last version of Internet Explorer, version 11, was released on October 17, 2013. This is a very long time ago when taking into account the rapid development of web technologies. These days it is often difficult and time consuming to get modern technologies to work well in this old browser. More and more frameworks are dropping support, and even Microsoft themselves has announced that they will fully drop support for IE in their own services in 2021.
Consequently, we have decided to not include support for IE in the Design Library website.
Luckily, there are modern options in active development. Please use Firefox, Edge or Chrome instead.
How to use icons in our applications.
At SEB we have decided to use a commercial icon library. It’s called the Central icon system.
The Central icon system was designed to be as universally applicable as possible and utilises Figma variants and properties to offer a completely customisable icon set. This allows for greater flexibility and consistency across all our design projects. Since the package offers complete customisation, we've set a style that we feel matches our typography and design.
After having used Font Awesome as our icon library, we are not transitioning into using the Central icon system. We have carefully selected icons that match those in our old library. This ensures a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your workflow. If additional icons are needed, it’s easy to expand the library to include more.
The library in Figma is called Icons & logotypes.
In the future design system (DV2023), the solid icons are mainly used for active components.
An example could be when a meny item is selected the icon changes to a solid variant.
