Design done...
Hello again, so I believe I am 90% done with the base style direction and main UI components for O², and am currently struggling with my not so bright idea of dinamic QML colour pallets. Still overall I'm happy with the general visual direction of the UI style, it's IMO clearly derivative of Oxygen but today. Now having done 90% of the design and doing the serious work I know that the solemn work that will take far far more time is upon me and us.. So in the next week's I will be mostly focussing on the qml implementation that as already started and implementing a kinda Oxygen-demo UI showcase. After that I have to do something even more difficult... That is to find a a icon style that does the same that the UI style above did.. bring to today oxygen of yesterday. And fix any of its issues...

I must say I like the icons very much but for example the mimetype icons (they are way to small to see the difference between them) and shutdown/restart/logon as new user icons were all very similiar and not much meaningful, I'd be totaly lost if there would be no text under each icon discribing what it means. Same goes for the instant messenger icons that were available to choose from. Or the undo/redo icons, the curved approach looks very strange to me.
Perhaps you should consider adding an option "I can't decide which to choose" or "They all look very much the same to me".
I hope you understand this as constructive critism, I'm really looking forward to Oxygen! Thanks for your hard work.
My guess would be that for Arabic and Japanese, left may not always mean "before" or "prior", but from the personal data you collect, you may have some noise in this info.
