Awesome , I think we'd have one for panel icons by the end of the UX sprint. When doing the icons for Karmic , One color didnt fit both the light and dark panels :/ I had to do twice the work for humanity and humanity-dark. Was a real pain . </rant off > I'm really trying to push this idea> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-store/+bug/433858/comments/3 This [-symbolic idea] is the best solution. That way the text will match the color of the icons. Other than the Panel , there are other places where such monochromatic icons can be used in the system too. The color apart , the icon sizes on the gnome-look are a huge problem . I'v tried to keep a consistent icon padding , so that we dont have problems of different icon sizes. And using fill for the icons just makes the icons appear too dark and as blotches. Just to mention a few, Once the sprint is over and the UX team mentions how they are implementing it..

For Karmic itself , we wanted to to do the monochrome icon for the Ubuntu logo and kwwii said no.. Now, he is all excited once it was posted on the web ;p Maybe similarly, we can add more app icons too... ;) Kenneth ? In the dictionary icon , the alphabets could be etched-in rather than being raised. -- Cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
