        Heh ;-) that's fine, as long as it is intentional I guess.

        Of course, my random / hackers asthetic feeling (which is
perfectly fine to write-off as invalid :-) is that overall there
is an improvement here :-)

        The purple for the f(x) is a but odd to me, I rather liked the crisp,
same coloured triplet of similar icons there in calc, and IMHO the new
one looks rather 'busy' vs. the old one.

        Same interest wrt. the purple color for the plugin icon - but perhaps
we move to a more multi-colored theme :-)

        Sure :-)

        So - it's all fine with me, I just wanted to make sure we were not
slipping back Galaxy icons into the theme by mistake (by loosing the
industrial layer eg.).

        Thanks !

                Michael.
