That seems like it would be completely bad at 16x16 even as an svg, (It is a nice icon though, and I like it's use on the Update Program itself (That's where it's used now right?)) we do need something a tad more eye catching though... not enough to break scheme. but enough to tell the user occasionally HEY! Look at me! Without annoying the people who already get it. If we had the composite by default spec matched I'd say a minor pulse or ripple coming from the tray icon (not blam in your face but noticeable) after very source list update yielding upgrades, but in this case I would say possible what we have now, occasionally transitioning to red. You know what I mean? It would be a little more eye catching, and not really break scheme, though borderline. The actual implementation of this is up to you all, but I think it would be enough to satisfy everyone, simply.

Hi Étienne, My suggestion to change the icon would be to "humanize" a tango icon: http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/scalable/apps/system-software-update.svg It seems like a decent metaphor although I am not sure how well it would work at 16x16. That is the best thing about the current icon -it works well at very small sizes. Bye, Ken On Monday 12 February 2007 23:54:16 Étienne Bersac wrote: > Hi Mark, > > I don't want agressive.
