[ubuntu-art] // panel icon distributions //

[Julian Oliver]

hi,

here is a link to a screenshot with a few small criticisms that i think 
would be great to address before Dapper goes live.

i also think the new logout icon is for instance far too intense,
dominating the Ubuntu icon in colour and form. i think the prominence
of the Ubuntu icon on the panel was perfect with the power switch 
(an icon choice i thought was both innovative and fantastic 
(switch(user, off, to sleep)). 

the distrubtion of space between neighbouring icons on the panel 
is also pretty inconsistent, as shown in the screenshot. 

the progress bar in some cases is also far too huge, and looks pretty
silly i think; almost twice that of the window titlebar and fields 
(a gigantic caramel worm creeps across my desktop).

i also think the new network applet icon, while better than the last, 
looks tiny and a bit weak next to the others. this is probably because 
the borders of the computers represented are too close in colour to the 
panel itself, so they icon blends into the panel and appears smaller.

anyway that's all!
