just for everyone else here, a recap: Kwwii has said that the ubuntu team was looking to *not* use any colors for icons in the panel. but the problem with this usage, with the greyscale version of hi-color bar type icons, is that if the colors are not used then the wireless icons would look almost exactly similar to the wireless icon used in Windows7. I'm hoping to prevent this similarity and try to create a greyscale version with curves similar to the one i'v already created. not the same , it will need more modification if it has to be displayed properly in all panels as greyscale. and if i succeed in making one then we could create similar look for the breathe notify-osd icons. But since this discussion is more towards the icons in the breathe icon set , *Cory* what do u think? greyscale or use these present color icons for breathe? cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
