Hi Étienne, My suggestion to change the icon would be to "humanize" a tango icon:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/static/cvs/tango-icon-theme/scalable/apps/system-software-update.svg It seems like a decent metaphor although I am not sure how well it would work at 16x16. That is the best thing about the current icon -it works well at very small sizes. Bye, Ken On Monday 12 February 2007 23:54:16 Étienne Bersac wrote: > Hi Mark, > > I don't want agressive.
