And because you like it there will need to be a lot of people here that say otherwise before you don't include it. That's also another issue that you are practically the leader of the echo icon theme. if you don't like an icon that i make it won't get in and if you make an icon that i don't like (but you do) it can still get in (this one). And there are to few people reading and commenting on the art list to get a good idea of what the people think of it. In this thread it's just 3 people! And the examples i showed are for the shape! not the color use. (except the box. it's for color indication) it doesn't need to be photo realistic, but better then this would be a lot better _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
