Oh boy! Normally, I would avoid useless arguments; normally I would say, yes you are right, even in your choice of quotes. However, I will bite into this one…

But that is of paramount importance. Or do you really believe that the graphics on the GUI are irrelevant, that the aesthetic quality of the design is immaterial? Do you honestly consider that the correspondence between the depiction on an icon and the function it performs is something that can be ignored?

Here I could say: “You are wrong”, but I will say: It is fairly easy to implement multiple graphics for a given toolbar, but that is beside the point. I am pleading for real designers (not me or you, for that matter) that could produce and contribute good quality graphics ( a single set! ).

Well this ones look a little bit too much “geared”. Try to compare with the ones in KDE, for example.

I was actually referring to the 7th from the left button. What is represented there?
But if you allow me, lets go orderly:
- The pictures on the “meta info” and the “user manual” are taken from a well know set of icons see here: http://icons.mysitemyway.com/
I am not even sure they are GPL compatible. In any case these two are the only ones with some “depth”; all the others are flat. The “user manual” has a shadow.
- “Add” and “Convert” do not match the style of the rest.
- “Fetch news” as I said before is a kind of male Novell logo.
- The 8th from the left button has a well known meaning: recycling. This meaning is in no way related to “remove books”.
Do you still believe that the new ones are better?
I will ask it again:
Is there someone willing to contribute?To contribute better and more consistent graphics.
Thanks
