Agreed. If we want to take action on this though, we'll need to disperse the icon theme out to all the individual projects and incorporate them into their build and install procedures. We would also have to make sure all new projects include a high contrast icon. The difficult part would be keeping tabs on existing projects to make sure they are always installing a high contrast version of their icons. Maybe it would be possible to build a script to check the current release modules and make sure they include a high contrast icon? -Thomas _______________________________________________ gnome-themes-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-themes-list
