Sadly my artistic skills never matured beyond stick figures. One thing that strikes me about icons is how hard it is to design good icons in a world where i18n is in daily use. You can no longer rely on representing the name of the command visually but rather you have to aim for the intend of the command. One of the reasons I personally like the Tango icons so much is that they put a lot of work into that kind of thinking, ensuring that as a translator I'm not stuck in a situation where icon and text could contradict. That and they are high quality work. There are so many concerns to take into account, it's a wonder we even get work done at times. I've stared at the icon for a good few minutes now, I believe it's some sort of switch. Come to think of it representing the concept of shutting down is very hard - a switch means at least two states, not to mention that some switch standards have on default as high state and some low state - which do we pick, that really depends on the locale setting, and we can't really start switching icons based on that. More thinking is required, I predict a long blog rant and a bugzilla report in my future. - David -- Obligatory shameless blog plug - The GNOME commentary located at www.lovesunix.net/blog -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
