Well i believe the ribbon could have been created with smaller icons, but
microsoft chose to use 32x32 icons and above for icons which need more
emphasis.

Thanks for designing them. I'm currently modifying them and will have Alex
create the svgs.

Yes it would be great to contribute something back to them in they are
interested in having it, though i think they would also want larger sizes as
well. :D

I'm fine with the purple as long as it clear. The funny thing is that microsoft
used a black floppy in MS Office for Mac. :D

I liked the solid gray metal part as it stands out well against the purple. :D

Yes i've seen the gnome save icons of the arrow in the cabinet and didnt think
it was very understandable. Atleast original tango was using a hard disk. :D

Well about the save as icon, i think we should stick with the pencil, as that
is what is used pretty much everywhere and we can pull the pencil from the find
& replace icon and add it to the purple floppy.
