Keep up the efforts, the community can't survive without the efforts of everyone involved. -Brent -----Original Message----- From: Hannes [<A HREF="mailto:flaxxen@googlemail.com">mailto:flaxxen@googlemail.com</A>] Sent: Tue 9/15/2009 3:42 AM To: Steffen, Brent; tango-artists@lists.freedesktop.org Subject: Re: [Tango-artists] some new gnome toolbar icons HI, thank you guys for some feedback. But actually it was not a question of universal "a" versus "b" and "i", because I already decided to use "b" and "i" for english speakers, for Germany I use "F" and "k", France "G" and "i",..etc. As a universal Icon I want to keep the "a". I was hoping to get some criticism/comments about the style of the icons. I am new to the tango-artists so I was unsure if my icons fit to the tango-style. I appreciate any comments!
