Hi Bryan, first of all, the 24px icon is totally fab and you are indeed on the right track. Minor nitpicks -- maybe a fewer menu items would be better, and while its purpose is not important, the active item arrow/triangle is completely unclear in shape (fuzzy) - you want to make sure the surface covers at least 4 pixels (3+1). And if you look around the existing icons, we're not afraid to go as far as creating square "pixels" in the vectors to make them sharp :) You can find the script in gnome-icon-theme. Either download a tarball from http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-icon-theme/2.31/ or clone the git repository* Good job! Looking forward to see more. * http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-icon-theme -- Jakub Steiner http://jimmac.musichall.cz _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
