Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Tango Icons

Hi Alex,

> I made some new icons for Impress, what do you think?

Overall, nice. I have some problems deciphering the first two, though.
The others are, I think, Slide Layout, Add Slide, Organigramme,
Slideshow. Is that correct?

I've got a few proposals for improvement, if you don't mind:
* we'll need both sizes, 22*22 +1px transparent border=24*24 as well as 16*16
* the half-transparent backgrounds for the slide icons don't seem like
a good idea to me (over dark backgrounds, these icons will look
significantly different)
* the icons seem a bit blocky to me, a few rounded corners shouldn't hurt
* the icons seem to lack gradients
* the second border line doesn't seem to be there at all
* the blue in the last icons seems strangely non-Tango... is that my
feeling only?

No, I don't think that would work. The Gnome guys were friendly,
though, when we (Michael, namely) approached them about the Save (As)
icon. See this thread on UX-advise:

Somehow, this thread died, though.
