PS: i know there is a "close-small" icon available, but it does not work quite well in my case. I want to use it for a progress visualization:

Hi @katjaKoppensteiner,
for icon design the "perceived" size is more important than the measurable extend of the actual icon shape. But in your example it is right, also the perceived size looks too small compared to the other 2 icons.
The reason might be that this "skip" icon is designed to be used together with the other player control icons.

As most of the player control icons come from the Siemens brand team it could take a bit longer to change. And before starting the process I just want to make sure, is "skip" really the meaning you want to communicate in your usecase?

Hi @silviowolf ,
The usecase is, that the user starts a software update & if any step fails, all other steps are skipped and instead a Rollback to the previous version of the system is executed. If you have another idea/proposal which icon I can use for "skipped" or "not executed" it's highly welcome 😊

Hi @katjaKoppensteiner,

what about these icons?

• "cancelled": in the meaning of "not applied to this part"
• "circle": in the meaning of "task still open"
• "arrow-right-down" in the meaning of "it was next in queue but has been skipped"

@silviowolf thank you for your response, I will use the skip icon for skipped steps & cancelled icon for stopped :)
