Do you mean the form of a picture inside? I mean the form of the whole icon, the form of its contour. > I look at the new emblems > like this: The orange is just a background.

I think you may be ignore that your brain does double work here: - distinguish an icon from a window's background - distinguish a glyph inside an icon In the case of different contour it's just the first step. > Well, I have to disagree, but again we can't really talk usability based > on personal preferences. I provided my personal experience as an additional evidence. The thing about the icon's contour form is strictly tested and I believe there are reports on this available. But where you're right is that _I_ can't talk of it authoritatively because I'm just the one who heard it once with one ear :-). But I nonetheless encourage you (or whoever interested in it) to ask a real usability expert about it. May be Matthew Thomas could help if he's reading it. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
