Hi ;) Thanks Nicu, glad to be here :)
Martin, I have moved the icons like you said, I have worked a bit on the shadow on 22x22 and changed the 32x32 frame - it's better now :D Just refresh the images from before. I will now take a look at some more detailed icons in the big sizes. // Kris 2009/8/7 Martin Sourada <[email protected]> > On Thu, 2009-08-06 at 23:33 +0200, Kris Thomsen wrote: > > Hi Design-team, Echo Perspective artists! > > > Hi again. > > > My name is Kris Thomsen, I'm 18 years old and from a little country in > > Northern Europe called Denmark.
