Great ! :)

Well, it depends on what the door is made of :-p Anyway, I understand
the point, but wouldn't the icon look a little flat without it ?

Hmm, I really agree with this. I made the shutdown icon red (for
shutdown itself), blue (for hibernate) and orange (for suspend). I think
making any of these icons green would be really strange : since this
will look like a green/orange/red light on the street, then green would
mean "go", but the computer will still stop (in some way) when clicking
on this button.

I kept the logout icon green, and made the reboot icon purple.

What do you think about that ?

Cheers,
