KDE Pinheiro

So flowing the feedback from yesterdays blog post here is an update on the status of the icon. Did not made the arrow green or blue for several reasons, most of them that have to so with the over usage of arrows and the fact that the green one already have a more document local browsing meaning to them. Plus I think that this one that pop up from the envelop itself makes sense to me at least, and avoid hading unnecessary visual clutter. One thing don't judge a icon contrast by the way it looks on white background specially if this contrast is made with alpha shadow, the white tends to fade it off. The same icon on actual oxygen use... Might still play with the 22x22 version a tad bit but overall I am happy with it... For 16x16 there is a option to just use the arrow like we do in many mail icons, we could just use the tiny arrow that is the defining element. Maybe....

Today Björn Balazs published the results from the last survey an the results point out that I should do a new "send mail" icon , the old one was very nice IMO it avoided the use of an arrow , that we end up using in action icons way more that I would like to. But against facts there is no possible argumentation. :) So I think this might work a bit bett er . So, better? worse ??? What do you think? I would like to avoid mailboxes and stuff like that as they scale pretty badly. # P.S. in the last days I have been working on encrypt document, sign, and lock, type of icons (as you can see in my identi.ca thingy ) and probably the icons in Kmail that deal with that issue will be a bit restyled mostly encryption that right now uses the same metaphor that "lock" does and causes some confusion.
