The perspective choices were done by Diana (based on community input) back when she started with the icon set (back than Fedora was still using Bluecurve), changing those would basically mean to start from the beginning, but I am not exactly opposed to that idea, but I'd rather started such a project parallel to our current Echo... > I don't think the differences between KDE style and GNOME style differs > that much to begin really, if one compares the following screenshots: > http://jakilinux.org/reviews/kde-4-rev-823000/kde4_823000_dolphin_oxygen.jpg > http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/figures/rnusers.nautilus.tabs.png.en_GB > > Same perspectives, similar outlines etc. Sightly different colors, KDE > drops the outline at 48, GNOME at 128. Oxygen has a lot more lively/glossy colouring and less contrastive outlines for many icons than gnome.

You can think of Echo as an alternative icon theme designed especially for Fedora with both KDE and GNOME in mind. Andreas, are there any areas we might help you other than designing icons (and filling bugs for unthemeable application icons, which we've already started doing with system-config-*)? Although we'd like to continue creating the Echo styled icons, we'd like to help gnome-icon-theme artist as well... Martin
