The other icons don't have elements that exceed 8 px width although some currently have elements only 7 px wide. I stretched that rule a little and made the gear 8.5 px wide. I find bitmaps to be tricky at small scales and a small change can make a world of difference. In this case I had hoped 0.5 pixels could be overlooked for the improved look. :-) As for position there is still a 1 pixel boundary at the bottom of the icon and it is still centered. > Even if not, I think it looks much cleaner - we should go for it (for > the 16px icon), even if it is a bit different.

Therefore if we want, the 8 px wide gear looks 90% as good but follows the rules. Here you can see it for comparison: http://picasaweb.google.com/JaronBaron/LibreOffice#5565517165618886402 (8.5 px left, 8 px right) Cheers, Jaron -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/design/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
