Those things are rarely made from wood so the colors like they are now
are wrong.
It needs to be in:
- white
- beige
- black
- silver

or a combination of that.

 Those file cabinets like this are mostly silver or white or a

I don't like the silver/white cabinets. IMHO the tango version (light
brown) is better than the gnome version (silver). Wood is wood, after
all ;-)

It can be brighter (and it will most likely be brightened in some of the
next releases of echo), but I'd strongly argue against using silver or
white colour as base colour for it.

At my workplace those cabinets are made from metal and they are painted 
in beige.

Around here wood is used rarely in modern office furniture.

Will consider on future 0.5 release of Echo. Feel free to add an enhancement

I have no further comments, feel free to upload it to git. Btw. I added
one section [1] and a short notice to another section [2] of the git
tutorial that might help you with the push :) If something there does
not work, or is unclear, feel free to either edit it yourself, or
complain about the problem here ;)

Check the new version

Set outline distant to 0.5px. These icons should display correctly. I
left outline to grey colours to see how it works. Otherwise, I will set
to brown.

Good, perhaps the shadow might be a little better. Can you try using
similar shadow to that in package-x-generic?

I'd definitely set it to brown. The grey-brown combination looks a
little strange. As for the outline width, I'd keep 0.75 px and rather
modify the shape a little to fit into pixel grid with vertical lines.

It should display fine now using blur and gradient on shadow area.

Definitely looks better. To me it looks nearly OK. I only noticed that
it's still not perfectly aligned to pixel grid (or at least it seems so,
I haven't checked the SVGs yet) - vertical lines seem a little blurry.
You might also want to add more contrast between outlines and fills in
the smaller icons to better define the shape.

And one idea - perhaps try different colour/style for the handles? It's
fine as it's now, but it could perhaps be better, but if you don't think
so, just leave them as they are now ;-)

OK, I went ahead and fixed the 48x48 and 16x16 versions. As I suspected,
the 48x48 one was about 0.5 px off in x direction, so moving the drawer
a little to the left helped to fix the alignment. I also did some
further fixes to problems I noticed in the SVG and/or improvements:
 
 * added gradient to outlines so that at the bottom of the icon the
contrast between outline and fill is still non-zero
 * slightly edited the shadow as I liked it
 * minor fix to cases fills size and handles size/position
 * played a little with the outlines width

Would be good if you made similar fixes to the other sizes (22x22 and
32x32; 24x24 can be created in gimp from 22x22 by adding 1px wide
transparent border to it).
