Hi, I think Bernhard's proposal is great. My time will free up after Wednesday so hopefully I can dedicate some serious time to looking over the icon set at that time. The icons currently look professional so I don't think that anyone would look poorly upon them. If we were to submit an icon set now, would we consider making a new set for the next release? Personally, I think we can have "draft" icons now and then create a final set later (with the intention of not changing them again for a long time).
Cheers, Jaron P.S. On Mac's at least you almost never actually see the icons (you see a small document preview instead) so if they aren't up to our very strict standards no one will notice. ;-) On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 6:38 PM, Christoph Noack <christ...@dogmatux.com>wrote: > Hi Bernhard, all! > > Am Montag, den 10.01.2011, 00:03 +0100 schrieb Bernhard Dippold: > > At the moment I see one real problem: > > > > We run out of time! > > Aehm, yes, and I already missed to answer many of the mails today (like > yours, or those by Björn).
