Hi,<br>
<br>
This doesn't matter for much, except it's my first SVG ever. I'm not an<br>
artist, neither I believe I have the required sensibility on this<br>
subject.<br>
<br>
I've been for some time testing stuff with Nodoka Engine, and I've made<br>
something that pleases me as a GTK-Theme, I called 'Galatic Empire' in<br>
an allusion to 'Star Wars'.<br>
<br>
I've decided to look into Inkscape and try to do some icons, my<br>
original purpose was to create some icons for the gnome tray in the line<br>
of the well known 'elementary monochrome', as my GTK theme is based in<br>
only 2 colors (dark grey and light grey).<br>
<br>
In addition maybe the tradional standard icons, for the menus and<br>
folders, maybe mime types in the future...<br>
<br>
This was my first ever image produced on inkscape based on some<br>
tutorials on Youtube. The 'Galatic Empire' icon I grabbed from media<br>
commons, the folder itself, I did by myself.<br>
<br>
It's a failure as a possible icon, too much complex and shatters<br>
completly on smaller resulutions, but it can point the way. Like Thomas<br>
Edison, I found a good on how not to do an icon ;) the rest the future<br>
will tell.<br>
