Where I said definitive NO a year ago, does not mean I'd to the same today. Though I don't change my opinions on a daily basis, they are not "set in stone". I wonder what my reason was back then, perhaps I felt Echo should have been darker, or didn't wanted much to touch original Diana's designs... Or now I've just become accustomed to the 24x24 version of the mail icons (which are similarly bright to my current designs) and gnome mail icons...

I'd argue that the current looks is closer to gnome icons than oxygen ones... We were asked to base our work on Tango in the past, now we are asked to base it on Oxygen... My only reply to that is: we're neither and we won't throw our past work away ;-) Martin
