Re: [libreoffice-design] MimeType icons: More time for improvements...

HI all,

I had playing with Christoph's icon set last day, trying to make the 
256px version for some icons. I made
icons to Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw and Base. My style is a little 
different, so I also made [few] changes in the background "document" to 
make sure they "fit"... :)

For decrease the SVG file size (1.5MB), I saved the file in the 
Compressed Inkscape Format (SVGZ - 116KB). But the wiki uploader don't 
allow this filetype, so I uploaded the normal SVG file... :/

I hope you like them. Commentaries and critiques are welcome :). I hope 
also we can complete all steps said by Berhnard and may release the new 
icons in LibreOffice 3.3.1. :D

Regards,
~Paulo
