Hey everyone,
I just wanted to say that the icon discussion I started a couple weeks back has born even more fruit, and I'm really happy with the current state of the icons that I'm now using in the 1.1.21 Ubuntu packages. I've attached them, and will be sending them as patches soon as well.
I'm still not quite done with them, and they will likely change a bit after I get some UI feedback at the Ubuntu Developer Summit at the end of the month, but in the meantime I think they're quite better than what we have.
Unlike the ubuntustudio icons I found (and packaged with 1.1.20 as an experiment), these should be a bit more visible (and fully tango-compliant). In particular, the stem of the glass is no longer two semitransparent pixels at normal 48x48 size, but instead has a full Tango border/inner brush stroke.
Smaller icons for the other standard sizes are being worked on as well, however they have to be retouched individually to maintain the 1 pixel border/brush stroke in the Tango style. Eventually I'll submit a patch for our website's mini icon as well.
Anyway, please feel free to give way too much feedback :)
Thanks, Scott Ritchie

Nice, however i have a little suggestion... Would it be possible to assign an icon to WINE when you select a program from the list? This would be nice! ;)

Huh? It's not clear to me what you're referring to here. Which list? Which icon?

Ahh, I see what you mean now. Thanks! I'll get to work on it.

I like then but not the one with the folder on. The gray colour just does not work for me.

I agree. The folder icon should match the system theme - ultimately my goal is to move "Browse C:\ Drive" (which this icon is used for) to a place in the Gnome Places Menu. That means the icon (or its KDE equivalent) will need to match the system theme - in my case that would mean a yellow folder with a Wine emblem.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie

The outline of the upper glass part seems to be a shade of gray, but the outline of the shaft at the bottom is black, looking kind of "unbalanced". Changing the black to #919191ff looks IMO better.

Hmm, I'll take a closer look there. Thanks!
