Hi Guys,

Before I start I want to say well done on the breathe icon set. It is really 
starting to look good!

Now I was looking at the folder icons for the breathe icon set, and I felt that 
they were a bit too
dark. The combination of the dark red and then a very strong shadow at the 
bottom just made them
look too 'grungy' and not in place when surrounded by the lighter icons of the 
icon set.

Therefore I tweaked two things:

1) I lowered the opacity of the bottom shadow of the folder from 42 to 25

2) I changed the first colour of the gradient of the main piece of the front of 
the folder to be
slightly lighter/ a tiny bit more orange

The resultant icon looks more lighter and doesn't make the users' desktop 
environment look as dark
(and therefore smaller)

You can see my comparison of the before and after here:

Now before I put up a bzr branch and proposed a merge, I just wanted to make 
sure that you all
thought it was a change for the better, so please look at my comparison above 
and reply to what you
think about it.

Thanks!!
