More Echo Icons
This week the focus on the Fedora Art list was development for the Echo Icon theme [1] with new icons created by Martin Sourada and Luya Tshimbalanga.
Martin also started a debate [2] about the best shape for icons for package install and update [3]: using or not a pagage visual, using an optical disc or just arrow and various kind of colors.
An interesting touch made by Luya was noticed [4]: use a sketch of the release wallpaper in the icons showing a computer display, however, this would require [5] refreshing a number of icons twice a year and may not be that useful for other distros shipping the theme.
Starting with a rude complaint [6] form another contributor, Mark, about some icons which supposedly "have that shit color", Marin proposed [7] a color change in the default palette [8] and after a favourable reaction in even got into use.
