Re: Echo icon set: preferences-system mockups
Hi, for quite a long time there hasn't been any communication about these icons, so if everyone agree I will consider preferences-system / redhat-system_settings as done. For 16x16 version I would pick a (better distinguishable) or d (better follows elements positioning from bigger sizes). As for gnome-settings - are there any comments? Unless I will consider it done as well. All mockups are on my wiki page [1].

I made new version (16x16 size included). Please, check it out. Those colours look great together, the screwdriver stands out so the focus isn't on the (bigger) monitor or PC.

If there is need I can e-mail it to you directly or post it on my wiki page. It could be useful on a personal wiki page; not only can everyone get to it but you can get the previous versions should any modifcations turn out worse! The limit is ~800kB IIRC,there has been the odd occaision where I have sent large attachments and they have been okay with the moderators. It's best on a wiki page, though. Also, what about the preferences-system-1 (the wrench with a screwdriver). Is it suitable for gnome-settings? Is it ok? I would think so, it depends on what settings that menu item actually configures (I use KDE so I can't remember!)

Re: Echo icon set: preferences-system mockups
How about the orange that is used in the recent document-properties lot? I would have thought that contrasted nicelyh with the blue in the monitor and gives a more universal association with that colour. I imagine, on the smaller versions, the screwdriver head might need to be a little darker or thicker for clarity but the rest of it looks good. I would produce a mockup but there is no SVG with this thread :) ./b On 19/03/07, Nicolas Mailhot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Le Dim 18 mars 2007 19:11, Martin Sourada a écrit : > Nicolas Mailhot napsal(a): >> Anything but blue ;) (or repaint the monitor) >> > > I made a green version [2] and 24x24 version [1].

Fine with me, though too much blue+green gives a bluish cold ambiance But others should comment too -- Nicolas Mailhot ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Did you try it? I just tried it over the balloon background from FD7T2 and it does not seem to be difficult to separate from it. That's why it has outline...
