Style. -Cory K. I meant what is the point of having the Rule when the most commonly used icons are the exceptions! shouldnt the lighting from them be set as the rule for the rest less commonly used icons. again just my 2c. cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Pls bring up ur idea again about the lighting effects , i think this time he might reconsider ur idea. :) cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Is this also a conscious design decision? As I look back, yes it was. Really, it wouldn't chuff me either way if Daniel wants to change them.

I had made some proposals in the light of the arrows above, but was not accepted. Think that the arrows should be consistent, and above all with correct light or all with translucy efect. green color it had reserved for other icon save as. with some modifications to the arrow. The inspiration for red color comes from the gnome-colors and it works very well. Daniel.P -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Daniel.P i think *kwwii* would strongly oppose the use of red! he was very specific that red should not be used for anything other than for icons to alert something not working. thought the icon looks good, just to maintain consistency, u might want to consider another color. :) cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Well, first off, you need to take my comments in perspective.
