I was working under the impression having less major colours is a good thing. From memory, the icons are done using the HIG palette with some intermediate colours for gradients and such. Designers I have met will tell you when doing a design, pick a small number of colours and stick with them. It creates a feeling of uniformity throughout a publication or website (or GNOME Desktop). --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://www.davyd.id.au/pgp/> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
