Is it just me but the link of the free cd icon oscd.sun.com seems to
not be connecting other than that I like it.

Hi,
Based on the summary below from last week, I've updated the stage

Hi all,
Reviewing this more yesterday and last night on
stage.opensolaris.org, I
realized there are a number of problems with using the CD icon for
the
free CD and the arrow icon for downloads, as follows:
If we change the Download icon, we break consistency with the
Subsites
and force them to re-implement two icons. For whatever time that
takes
to complete, we would have a situation where the CD icon means two
different things (it would mean free CD from the main site pages, but
would still link to the Downloads page from all the Subsites which
are
managed separately from the main site).
At this point, support for the download arrow icon doesn't warrant
that
breakage and rework, especially since we are not anywhere near
agreement
about a preference for the arrow icon (as many folks like the icon as
those who do not). Implementation of the arrow icon could also create
new problems by changing the meaning and target of the most clicked
icon
on the site, the well-known Download icon that looks like a CD.
In addition, six icons at the top is already too many and I haven't
heard a preference for the blue bubbles with up-turned arrow icon.
So, I
suggest sticking with the original implementation that used the
colored
bubbles icon to replace the Get Help icon as the response to the
request. I was asked to respond by tomorrow (Friday), so I want to
set
expectations about where I'm at with this after staging the
alternatives
and hearing all the feedback.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Sean,
A new downward arrow graphic is posted that matches the other
icons
and has clean lines, see:
http://stage.opensolaris.org/os/
Unfortunately it seems to be the wrong colour of blue-- 0x337091,
while the others are using 0x5382A1 (aka "Sun Blue").
Echo of my "too heavy" comment?
Thanks... Sean.
