Some icons are making me sad

2006-03-06 Thread Jorge Bernal
Sorry for the subject, I couldn't find anything better.

The point is some dapper (and earlier) icons are not matching the gnome
color palette. I could fix this, but I want to know first if I'm crazy
or you agree on this (to avoid working for nothing)

* Gnome-power: the colors are too bright and the borders too thick. The
icon in the systray seems to be an intruder from another icon theme.
* Firefox: this icons have various issues, its blue is too bright and
doesn't match the gnome blue tones so it doesn't feel gnome-ish. It's
very low contrast (hard to recognise). Maybe it would be nice to use the
Firefox logo or the epiphany icon.
* The new evolution icon looks like Tango :) Maybe it needs more
contrast
* The network monitor applet icon seems to have their borders blurred.
missing low-res version??
* The OO.org icons are (maybe) too light and confuse.

I can send proposals to fix all of these, but tell me your opinions
first, please

Happy dapper,
Koke

As far as the colors ar concerned, I recenetly filed an enhancement
request for gnome-power manager here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331710

which seems to have started a discussion here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331761

where they discuss upcomming tango icons. Im not sure if that implies
that they will fit the color scheme better, but in the mean time
fixing the current ones for Dapper is as easy as bash and mogrify:

for each in /usr/share/gnome-power-manager/*.png
do
 mogrify -modulate 75,50,85 $each
done

screenshots of the modified icons can be seen on the enhancement request page.

Sure. Lately, GNOME startup is being quite fast. It's already time to
get rid of the splash?

I am compelled to say this: it looks like an ear.
