If you want to communicate over the internet you must accept that people
are from all walks of life and communicate in an untold number of ways.
Whether you like that or not doesn't change the fact. I'm short, blunt,
Texan with a capital T, and proud to not be politically correct.
Globally, that's niether right or wrong anymore than how you, or anyone
else, communicates. Internet Etiquette 101.

I'm happy to see improvement! Might want to consider another important
aspect in icons. Perspective. With the gradients in Tango and Tangerine,
it's obvious they are not intented to be 2d/flat icons. Adding the
perspective element to the shadows has everything to do with not ending
up with icons in between 2d/flat and 3d/life and therefore
unprofessional.

Open them in tabs and click between them.

-Folder shadow angles in the direction the folder is facing
-Computer icon has a shadow that is consistent with the folder
-script icon has a diamond with a shadow that places it infront, making
it complete.
-exec icons on the desktop have a diamond shadow laying down behind it
(seem I over did it a little) What is round about a diamond?
-toolbar icons (old) are standing up instead of having a haze around
half of them.
Tango

-find icon (nautilus) looking glass is too big, but it did need to be
bigger than it was
