--- Comment #2 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
We're using the `go-next-view-page` icon, which is semantically correct; the
action does indeed take you to the next view page. In Breeze, the icon is a
rightward-facing arrow similar to the one in your icon theme.

So the objection here is that the icon does not communicate "clicking on this
will take you to the next page". An eyeball icon would not work; we use that to
communicate visiblity/hidden status. Do you have any other suggestions?

Maybe instead we could make the icon show what it is you'll be taken to? So if
clicking on it will take you to an album, it would show the album icon; if
clicking on it would take you to an artist, it would show the artist icon, and
so forth. One problem I can envision for this is that we would need icons for
"artist" and "genre" that are perfect, or else the meaning will be totally
lost. This seems like it might be impossible. The current ones are not that
great IMO.

Any other ideas?
