Re: [libreoffice-design] Proposal for "Saving Information" icons on Status Bar

Replying quickly (Today my Father came to visit me in my current city! :-D):

Thank you for the feedback! Perfectly, your suggestion to increase 
transparency makes the "status info" goal seems clear to this icon. Do 
you think we could incorporate this on the original icons or the 
transparency is "on the fly" by software?
