I've been using the new python icons for windows for about two weeks now and I must say they've turned out to be far less functional than I thought. From purely visual standpoint the new icons look better, the old ones had a certain level of 'cuteness' associated to them .. I could see why that might have been a turnoff for some.
But these new icons are too large, too blocky and too pastel. On my laptop time and again I found myself squinting trying to figure out just what the actual icon is. For example it resembles the icon for text files. It always feels like I need to make a small mental effort of first recognizing then mapping the icon to python. I can recall ever having this problem with the old icons ... or windows icons in general for that matter. Just an opinion. Istvan PS can someone point me to a page/link that contains the old icons? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
