And at: http://www.niallmoody.com/twindy/screenshots.htm there are screenshots to be seen. Twindy may, or may not ... I ignore, be good. On the other hand, the screenshots show without pity icons whose substance grade and themes range from authentic *Art Brut*^1 to kindergarten. Let's see: hammers, screwdrivers, spanners as they would come directly from Brio or Meccano of the children; magnifying lens, scissors, envelopes and folders from the kids' Little Postal Store; houses, pencils and colorful arrows--to the left, the right, up, down, cycle--from the game of the goose or the books of the Brothers Grimm; and so on. Incidentally, and to get an idea of the *gravity* the situation: compare with ... Egypt and Greece, say, of the past. (Who has visited Pompeii, the ruins, near Naples once, at the limit? Notice that Pompeii has even been a kind of Club Meditarranee of the past, NOT a *cradle* of civilization for sure!) Were they not--ironically--more *artistically advanced* [read: provided with a more vivid imagination] still than ... hem, *we* anno 2007? (Hello *Teddy* [Adorno], who once called our *modern history* [cultural] *progressing* rather a regression into pre-agrarian times.) Guess what?! icons are a bit limited--or then are completely arbitrary--as a medium and language to be used in defining and describing tasks to be accomplished through a *fantasy*- [sigh] less automaton and computer. They are wrong metaphors--actually a kind of aphasia, or incapability to speak and explain--as much as *cute* and *charming* [sigh] they may appear. Cheers, /Roy PS Icons--not convinced yet? Put a look at a last Fluxbox *theme*. Who knows, you may discover Cinderella, or Hansel and Gretel *fashioned* icons stuffed in menus [with rounded corners!] in a Postmodern, or ... what else?, Hyperrealist atmosphere and *ambiente*. Or also: Mattel [Barbie, the doll] on Giger^2 ... chacun a son gout, isn't it? 1. Art Brut. [T]he idea of "Art Brut" appeared around 1945. Its conception is generally attributed to the French painter Jean Dubuffet who meant by the term "works executed by those immune to artistic culture in which imitation has no role; in which their creators take all (subjects, materials, transposition, rhythm, style etc.) from their own individuality and not from the base of classical art or stylish trends". One can understand from this definition that practitioners of "Art Brut" are mentally or socially marginal: prisoners, patients of psychiatric hospitals or other institutions, originals, solitary beings, condemned, all individuals who have a social status removed from the constraints of cultural conditioning. 2. Hans Ruedi Giger. [G]iger got his start with small ink drawings before progressing to oil paintings. For most of his career, Giger has worked predominantly in airbrush, creating monochromatic canvasses depicting surreal, nightmarish dream-scapes. [H]is most distinctive stylistic innovation is that of a representation of human bodies and machines in a cold, interconnected relationship, described as "biomechanical". His paintings often display fetishistic sexual imagery and are considered disturbing by some. Giger is also the guy known by most people because of Alien's, the movie, designs for sure. -- SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS habis manis sepah dibuang--after the sweet SSSSS . s l a c k w a r e SSSSSS part is finished and becomes tasteless, SSSSS +------------ linux SSSSSS the cane is thrown away [when we only call SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS our friends if we need help]
