[Tango-artists] Network Device Icon Requests

[Mark Unwin]

These icons are awsome. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Additional 
comments below.


- The dual monitor icon...i think the keyboard could be closer to the
displays.
Agreed.


- Print server: could we implement some kind of Print metaphor...i.e.
the generic printer icon in the background, connected via cable,
similarly as in the dual monitor icon?
Agreed.


- Your rack components are great! I withdraw my former suggestion. ;-)
Yes. Maybe a "top" and "bottom" part of the rack that could be used ?


- Router: i'd like to see the addition of a more expressive metaphor
here as well. Possible, ethernet ports could be added to the front
panel, alternatively, maybe something could be done with cables? Or can
we express "routing" by using arrows (although, i'd rather avoid them)?
Arrows do seem to be commonly used for this...

Awesome.

Some remarks:
- The dual monitor icon...i think the keyboard could be closer to the
displays.
- Print server: could we implement some kind of Print metaphor...i.e.

There seems to be a more or less common symbols for routers in network
diagrams, i.e. here: http://www.shetlandbroadband.co.uk/specialist.html
