Yep, I also saw the new shutdown message icon... But to be honest, the older was much nicer :-) The new one looks so ugly-microsoft-installer-icons to me...

Also if you look at the different design styles the ilIad has:
- Full-screen 3d renderings (Startup, software upgrade) -> look nice
- Old status icons (with surrounding border, e.g. triangle, or rectangle) -> look nice
- Now they introduced a third scheme (this shutdown icon...) -> looks not so nice

Usually the goal is to find your own style with an device, to separate it from the other devices (e.g. if you look at Sonys, all icons, design look like they fit together)

Sorry, but as a ex-design-head I care about such stuff :-)

Perhaps iRex need some graphics designer or at least someone with some love for details for such things...
I mean it would be so easy, all icons are plain png's (from the captured 2.7 update package I have seen...), it would not be hard to change them...
