Actually I was suggesting we *don't* use different icons for the MeMenu title and menu items. While colour would be useful as it's used elsewhere (eg Empathy client) it conflicts with the specific meaning colour has in the menu bar. And using mixed monochromatic/colour icons for the menu's title/items adds another layer of understanding that needs to be learned. Consistency is great. This is how Lucid already looks. Perhaps a more interesting question than which icons should be used in the MeMenu is which icons should be used in Empathy. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
