Hi All,

I only speak for myself when I say the file icons might be a bit too abstract for file icons. I don't get the orb reference, it might be something I'm missing. I think users have so many applications installed that it helps when an application's icon suggests what the file contains. I know the "paper-sheet-with-symbols" thing has been done, but it works! I like how electronic office files mirror the physicality of paper office files, I think that metaphor should be retained because it has been throughly thought through and time-tested. ... http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:Overkill#Work_in_progress I've uploaded a quick screen capture (the link above) of some rough work on file icons showing a piece of paper with a coloured letterhead-mast and symbols to represent the file content and application. The ODF icon is "stamped" on the bottom to make it identifiable as such. The files are really rough and quickly made, the gulls are improvised, the colours aren't accurate, the typeface is best-guess. Its just to gauge a response, if no-one likes it, no harm done and I'll bury it. Please take a look anywho (at the two with drop-shadows especially). As always, let me know what you think =) -Nik __________________________________________________________________________________ Last chance to win a Sony entertainment pack thanks to Yahoo!7.
