[ubuntu-art] Icons are alarmingly orange

[Eric Feliksik]

The orange theme is happy, and has really improved in the last weeks. Nice.

The icons, however, are just *screaming* at me. They feel like hurry-up 
traffic-lights! Especially the ones with a special label, like your 
homefolder, an ssh-share, etcetera. The orange tone is just very hard. 
This also goes for progress-bars, which should be informing, not alarming.

The selection tone, on the other hand, is subtle (and is allowed to draw 
more attention). The metacity-top is not distracting, nice.

See this screenshot:

I suggest making the orange a bit gentler, especially the bottom part of 
the folder icons. For example, make it more like the savedSearch icon in 
the screenshot.

Also, the label for ssh-shares and ftp-shares don't match the label for 
ogg-stuff. It could be just as well a label in another color, to make 
the icons match the others, and still *subtly* stand out (grey, even 
dark grey, is more subtle than that particular orange ;))

What do you think?

(I don't know how much the icons in particular are already discussed. I 
opened a bug report on 
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-artwork/+bug/37494 )

Thanks,
