Hi, First sorry for not hearing from me for such a long time - I don't have much spare time lately... Next, I think we need to make final decisions about the new perspective to Echo and update the guidelines appropriately. My ideas about this can be summarized as follows: We will start new Echo Perspective icon theme which will * be developed in parallel to the current Echo * until it reaches good enough coverage, it will fallback to current Echo and gnome-icon-theme * use same Perspective Projection as in tango/mango for 32x32 icons and bigger, and in cases where it helps icon distinction in smaller sizes as well, Flat Perspective will be used for the rest * allow small amount of glows/glazes/shines in 256x256 version to achieve better realistic look * use ~ 1 px thick solid borders at *all* sizes Apart from that I'd like to chose the final design for monitor (keyboard is not yet prepared), folders and trash. You can see the candidates (there aren't many) at the wiki page dedicated for this purpose [1]. If you still wish to add your candidate - the design does *not* need to be complete for that purpose - you still have time. I hereby announce the closing date for adding your candidates is 24.12.2008 (though I don't expect many people working on this particular date). We will then decide the which designs we will use and the results will be officially announced in the next Echo Monthly News issue (whose November's issue I skiped due to lack of time and enough content). Finally I'd like to propose, and add it to our guidelines, that we allow small amount of bitmap post-processing in our icons under these conditions: * the post-processed bitmap must look closely similar to the original SVG * the post-processing used must be fully reproducible using either ImageMagick or gimp and must be documented * only steps that can be automated must be used Your comments on all theses matters are welcome. Thanks, Martin References: [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/EchoIconTheme/Perspective
