[Echo] network-(dis)connect icon set
Hi, I've just finished the network-(dis)connect icon series, the metaphor is pretty much the same like in oxygen and gtk stock, although I've chosen different design (standard network cable + socket).

The day icon themes were born to the world, people should have accepted the fact and make it possible to change every icon on desktop by looking them up in icon themes. It's not only because the Echo icon theme, we can replace the upstream icons if needed for Fedora, the biggest issue I see there is that it effectively blocks creating themes designed specially for people with disabilities, like HiContrast icon theme. The theming functionality is mostly there already (with 2.24 all of evolution is themeable etc. please file bugs where it's not), but the contributions to HighContrast are few and far between. It would be cool to see more icon creation happening for those. We also fail to support the art communities upstream. Andreas has practically begged you to work with him upstream. We simply don't have enough good artists around to have turf wars over icon sets. I will join him in asking you to work upstream. Unless I pay people, I can only kindly ask them to help us. I think people should be free to work on what they enjoy best. Just wanted to make that clear. - Andreas ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Not for Fedora only, but for Fedora mainly ;-) However, I have a hard time seeing where the Echo style are a in-between style between GNOME and KDE. Ours look more realistic than gnome, but less the oxygen icons. The perspective choices were done by Diana (based on community input) back when she started with the icon set (back than Fedora was still using Bluecurve), changing those would basically mean to start from the beginning, but I am not exactly opposed to that idea, but I'd rather started such a project parallel to our current Echo... I don't think the differences between KDE style and GNOME style differs that much to begin really, if one compares the following screenshots: http://jakilinux.org/reviews/kde-4-rev-823000/kde4_823000_dolphin_oxygen.jpg http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.24/figures/rnusers.nautilus.tabs.png.en_GB Same perspectives, similar outlines etc. Sightly different colors, KDE drops the outline at 48, GNOME at 128. Oxygen has a lot more lively/glossy colouring and less contrastive outlines for many icons than gnome. Echo tries to be somewhere in-between... The guidelines are not set it stone, and we're happy to change them where needed. - Andreas Same on Echo part. You can think of Echo as an alternative icon theme designed especially for Fedora with both KDE and GNOME in mind. Andreas, are there any areas we might help you other than designing icons (and filling bugs for unthemeable application icons, which we've already started doing with system-config-*)? Although we'd like to continue creating the Echo styled icons, we'd like to help gnome-icon-theme artist as well...

This version is not bad but the 256x256 network-(dis)connect looks strange. For network-disconnect, could you fix the top from the cable? Not sure I understand what you mean in this part. I guess, you are talking rather about the network-connect looking a bit strange around the socket? I'll try to improve that. for disconnect, could you make the gold part deeper like salsa icons[1]? Will try. Another alternate is *ahem* Vista version of network-(dis)connect[2] through the implementation feels awkward. A lot awkward. Their icons feel strange and blurry... Anyway, the most important sizes for this icon are AFAIK 22x22 and 16x16.

Only comment is the top of socket is sightly blurry on both 16x16 and 22x22. Could you also darken the wire on 16x16?
