Consistency is a well praised element in the artwork team camp. That said, we are dealing with very complicated circumstances. As you can imagine, the icons take a good deal of effort. Currently, the bulk of the icons were contracted by sabdfl and built by the IconFactory. If someone were to construct a set of panel icons that met sabdfl's approval, it is possible they could be included. This is not an easy endeavor however. ;) > Colors > * I gave a look to the palette on the wiky > (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/sabdflAesthetic) is > it the approved one?

I believe some of the limitations are inherent in GNOME. You would either need to address them with code or formalize a bug report for change. Hope this helps, TJS
