There is a lot of problems with them and they have only 48x48 version, really bad.

I don't think so, this is very very subjective. Also, the third icon is overaly bright as well, only the bottom is shaded. > Few mail icons are also too dark.

Yep, you need not to fear that Echo will be in F8 - it is far from complete... We are staying with Mist (I actually think that the Mist/Gnome combination is nicer than Tango, even though the style is very similar...) > > So, do your best :) . > > We'll do :) Thanks, Martin
