Hi ;)<br><br>Thanks Nicu, glad to be here :)<br><br>Martin, I have moved the icons like you said, I have worked a bit on the shadow on 22x22 and changed the 32x32 frame - it's better now :D<br>Just refresh the images from before. I will now take a look at some more detailed icons in the big sizes.<br>

You've addressed already all the comments I gave you on IRC and the icon<br>
is very good. I think it would be also better if you made the frame in<br>
32x32 also 1px (instead of the current 2px) wide, I think it will look<br>
better. Now what I hadn't noticed in the png -- move the 256x256 16px<br>
lower, the 48x48 icon 3px lower, the 32x32 2px lower, the 22x22 1px<br>
lower and make the shadow in 22x22 more visible by expanding it and<br>
making it more blurry. That's in order to be better aligned horizontally<br>
with and look more consistent with folder icons.<br>
<br>
If you'd like you can also work further on the two icons that are<br>
present on the desktop so they would look more like real icons, although<br>
this would be probably only for 256x256 and 48x48 -- in smaller sizes<br>
there isn't much place for adding more details ;-)<br>
<br>
Now for Luya, Nicu and others who might want to comment on the icon.<br>
I've suggested (along with other icons, but he chose this one) this icon<br>
to Kris when he asked if he could help with Echo Perspective and<br>
suggested that he use similar metaphor that is in GNOME-Colors [1] as<br>
opposed to current Echo metaphor (not that is very different). I believe<br>
it works better, and even though it is a little similar to<br>
video-display, due to the different contexts in which these two icons<br>
are used (device vs. directory/place) I believe they cannot be confused<br>
by users.<br>
<br>
