Re: gnome-globe.png



I have to say I like Jimmac's a lot better except that I agree with you on the overuse of 3d effects. I think that flattening the value and saturation ranges on the globe a bit and emphasising perspective less on the shadow would make it a bit better. I've cobbled together a mockup, it also has a slight green filter (Closest to "green medium" in the 32 colour palette [ http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/layout.html#Palette ], grain merge ~20%) on the globe. I think it might be little too green (so much so as to be too far out from the HIG palette), and maybe I skimped on the perspective a little too much (and didn't pull the shadow "forwards" far enough) but other than that is an improvement (and seems to fit well with other gnome icons)...

Hey Everyone,

Hope Jimmac is reading this, because I was going to send it
directly to him, but then I changed my mind and decided I
should get the list involved.

Anyway. Jimmac recently added a new gnome-globe icon to
the gnome-icon-theme (attached as gnome-globe(copy).png),
but I'm not too fond of it :) It is the only icon on the
menu with loads of 3d/shadowing and so donesn't fit in too
well.

I tried substituting in the gnome-globe from Industrial,
which is flatter and has nicer coloring (attached as
gnome-gnome-blue).
It looks a whole lot better but is
still a good bit bigger than the other icons in the panel.

I had an idea, and spliced together the Industrial one with
the gnome-fs-web icon and came up with the attached
gnome-globe.png - what do people/Jimmac/Luca think?
