# Material Icons Mapping for VT_Player

Using Google Material Icons for clean, professional UI.

## Icon Sources
- **Material Symbols:** https://fonts.google.com/icons
- **Format:** We'll use Material Symbols (variable font with fill/weight options)
- **License:** Apache 2.0 (free for commercial use)

## Integration Methods

### Option 1: Unicode Characters (Simplest)
Use Material Icons font and insert unicode characters directly in Go strings.

### Option 2: SVG Downloads (Recommended)
Download SVG files from Google Fonts and bundle with app.

### Option 3: Icon Font (Best for scaling)
Use Material Symbols variable font with Fyne's text rendering.

## Implementation Plan

### Phase 1: Font Integration
1. Download Material Symbols font from Google Fonts
2. Bundle font file in `assets/fonts/MaterialSymbols.ttf`
3. Load font in Fyne application startup
4. Create helper functions for icon rendering

### Phase 2: Icon Helper Package
Create `internal/ui/icons.go`:
```go
package ui

import (
    "fyne.io/fyne/v2"
    "fyne.io/fyne/v2/canvas"
)

// Material icon unicode constants
const (
    IconPlayArrow      = "\ue037"
    IconPause          = "\ue034"
    IconStop           = "\ue047"
    IconSkipPrevious   = "\ue045"
    IconSkipNext       = "\ue044"
    IconMenu           = "\ue5d2"
    IconVolumeUp       = "\ue050"
    IconVolumeOff      = "\ue04f"
    // ... more icons
)

// NewIconText creates a text widget with Material Icon
func NewIconText(icon string, size float32) *canvas.Text {
    text := canvas.NewText(icon, color.White)
    text.TextSize = size
    text.TextStyle = fyne.TextStyle{Monospace: true}
    return text
}

// NewIconButton creates a button with Material Icon
func NewIconButton(icon string, tooltip string, tapped func()) *widget.Button {
    btn := widget.NewButton(icon, tapped)
    btn.Importance = widget.LowImportance
    return btn
}
```

### Phase 3: Replace Current Icons
Update all emoji-based icons with Material Icons:
- Play/Pause: ▶/⏸ → play_arrow/pause
- Previous/Next: ⏮/⏭ → skip_previous/skip_next
- Volume: 🔊/🔇 → volume_up/volume_off
- Menu: ☰ → menu

## Download Instructions

### Material Symbols Font
1. Go to: https://fonts.google.com/icons
2. Select "Material Symbols Rounded" (recommended for modern look)
3. Click "Download all" or select specific icons
4. Extract font file: MaterialSymbolsRounded-VariableFont.ttf

### Individual SVG Icons (Alternative)
1. Browse icons at https://fonts.google.com/icons
2. Click icon → Download SVG
3. Save to `assets/icons/[icon-name].svg`

## Advantages of Material Icons

✅ **Consistent Design**: All icons follow same design language
✅ **Professional**: Industry-standard, used by Google/Android
✅ **Comprehensive**: 2500+ icons cover all use cases
✅ **Free**: Apache 2.0 license (no attribution required)
✅ **Scalable**: Vector format scales to any size
✅ **Variable**: Can adjust weight, fill, optical size
✅ **Accessible**: Widely recognized symbols

## Next Steps

1. Download Material Symbols font
2. Create icon helper package
3. Update all buttons to use Material Icons
4. Test rendering on Linux (Fyne + GTK)
5. Add icon customization (size, color themes)
