It's the old GNOME style that was fairly unique. All the other platforms, Windows, KDE, Mac OS, use a slightly dark shade of a base color for the stroke if there is one. We kept black on the gradients as it really needs maximum contrast to see what tupe of color blend it is at such a small space. Also the cursors will keep black stroke as it helps to locate it more easily on the screen. > The crop tool icon is a bit more incomprehensible than the previous > icon.. which I eventually came to recognize on occasion as a scalpel. > It could work better to emphasize the cutting edge by making the blade > darker and flat, highlighting the edge in near-solid white...

You don't appear to be the only one who's not happy with the scalpel we have. I'll investigate if it's possible to draw a recognisable rasor at 16x16 or maybe just a rectangle with the handlebars. > One other thing..

I'll see about lowering the viscosity parameter in my icon physics lab ;) Thanks for the feedback. -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac@xxxxxxxxxx> Novell, Inc. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
