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

Hi Ivan, Mike, all,

Thank you for your positive comments! Thank you too for the great 
feedback with good suggestions.

It's harder to make this little sharper details to small icons because 
they are already sharp and it's easy to overdo... So I made a new 
version for the 256px's icons and added some few details to the 128px's 
version. Here is a image with the Christoph 128px's icons, my 128px's 
version and below the new 256px icons, all together to compare the 
changes (it's hard to see them alone).

Thank you! I realized what you said about how the Base icon is out of 
place, so I tried decrease the white border and the gradient. I think 
now it is almost fine! :) I wanna know your opinions about it. Maybe 
need to decrease it more.

Well, I tried some inner shadows, but I didn't achieve a great 
solution... :( Maybe I didn't got your idea very well.

Oh Thank you! I didn't know who to ask.
