I think the "Jaron gear" works better at the 16px but "Paulo's gear" looks
better at the 128px size.

If you honestly think Paulo's gear is better don't include my change.  I
would rather the better icon be shipped out.  My feelings won't be hurt. :-)

I integrated Jaron's Macro icons and the lighter Impress template gradient

In general the icons look great!  My five dislikes are: (by the way it
started at 2 and then I got really critical)
1) Calc 128px icon: The middle column at the top row is a little light.
2) Calc 128px icon: The lines on the bar graph next to the orange bar
contrast too much
3) Draw 16px icon: I liked it better in a previous iteration where the
triangle was the same equilateral triangle as in the other icons
4) Impress 128px icon: The shadow could be a little bit darker I think...
(opacity changed to ~80)
5) HTML/Web 16px icon: If you take the 32px "World" and shrink it to the
16px world size and then change the "web" to 0.5 px width you get a nicer
icon.*

So really just nit-picky complaints.  Like I said earlier, the icons look
great!  Everyone did such a good job!  And thanks Bernhard for taking care
of this at the last minute!

Cheers,
Jaron


* I could see someone arguing against having such a small feature on the
icon but I think the color matched better to the other icons and you can
tell that at least there is something on the circle (i.e. it looks more like
a globe) than simply a plain colored circle.
