I guess you are wrong here - you are talking only about GTK/Gnome applications, but Fedora equally supports QT/KDE applications, that use totally different style (oxygen). And because we want full desktop integration for both QT and GTK applications we are left with no other choice that create our own icons style that will not clash very much with either of them. The perspective choices were done by Diana when she started the icon set some years ago and we're probably not going to rethink them. Though I would not be against it, if there were enough people working on redoing all the icons with the "better" perspective. > It's not very hard to make Echo look integrated with the upstream > icons, without losing its characteristics.

In toolbars there are primarily actions icons that have similar perspective to gnome icons (on the table or flat). > At least that's what I think of it.
