Thanks for your tips, Thorsten. I wasn't very happy with the first version of the icon, mostly because on the small sizes doesn't look very well. I made a new version with another perspective (is in the wiki now) from which the small sizes should look good. To make sure of the symmetry I used guides and I think that turned out well. Still the icon could be better but if you all like it I made the small sizes and try to refine the bigger one. -- Seba (AKA spg76) http://www.ubuntu-ar.org
