Well I also vote for the smaller size icons after my brief try of the
new theme today.
I have reverted the icon size in CVS (probably to the relief of many,
including myself after a few days of usage). It should be in the next
version of redhat-artwork.
However to me the biggest problem (and why I have gone back to the
original version) is the removal of the visual hints of the boundaries
of the in use window.
With the original version there appears to be some 3D hinting as well
as the blue corners at the bottom. Thus I can quickly see the limits
of the current window on a screen that as 10 or so applications open.
The new version I found that the various applications blended together
and I had to stop and think which part of the screen belonged to the
app I was using and which was from an app that was behind the current
one.
I'll have to think about this one a bit. I removed the corner handles
because they did not really indicate resizing after I thought about it
(as you could really resize from any corner). The handles merely
indicated where a diagonal resize would take place. I really like the
new borders where it puts less of an emphasis on the theme itself and
makes the window frame feel more like a part of the application window.
I will try thinking of some alternatives, but I'm not going to promise
anything at this point. No matter what changes, someone will like it
better one way than the other. I want to try to do what's best.
