Yeh, it seems like this is a big problem for the smaller-sized Echo icons. I recommend everyone working on Echo read this: http://www.firewheeldesign.com/sparkplug/2006/April/icon_design_bitmap_vs_vector.php While the article shows the problems of scaling up from a small vector icon, the issue a lot of the Echo icons haxve is that they are scaled down from a large vector icon, without alignment to the pixel grid so the details come out muddy. This talks a little bit about the pixel grid if you are curious: http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2007/02/21/icon_design/ I also recommend if you want fuller coverage for Fedora 7, work on the smaller icons first, then the large sizes. The larger size icons are far less likely to ever appear anywhere in the desktop, but the smaller sizes are much more likely to appear thus if they are not finished they will make the set look more incomplete. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: How is the Echo Icon development going on?
I think there is a basic set of icons that are more important than others. This means that the whole set does not necessarily need to be finished in order for it to be default.

I have set a wiki page of todo list for the main icons. I am currently working on both shutdown and bluetooth icons. preference-theme icons turned out to be challenging as I attempt to work on mark representing different culture as suggested.

Echo is not a release blocker. Release blockers are described in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/7. If the theme isnt in a suitable state for default you will get in the next release.

That's the plan.

How is the Echo Icon development going on?
Hey, i`m currently using Fedora Rawhile with the latest packages, but not all icons are updated yet (like the internet and mail icon... just to name the few you see as soon as gnome is started). so i`m wondering.. will the echo icon theme make it for Fedora Core 7 final? i wish i could halp with the icons, but i`m not that good in making icons/logo`s. so.. hows the progress?
