If you have a look at current gnome art projects, like the Gion icons http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/1340 and all the other window boarder/login manager/application themes that are on art.gnome.org you can appreciate that work is top quality. If you bring that work together you end up with a very high quality set of desktop art. -- /\/\ichael [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] \/\/ood [ http://michaelwood.me.uk ] -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
