</div></div>Very interesting point about the GEdit icon. Do you have any<br>
suggestions about how to represent "composition" with an icon that<br>
wouldn't easily be confused with, say, Activity Monitor or Terminal or<br>
some IDE?<br>
<br>
Re: tomboy, I think the graphical part will look splendid at any<br>
resolution, but the "Hello World" is far more appropriate for<br>
something like a GEdit icon, as per Yann's suggestion, no? Perhaps<br>
something like "get milk!" would be more fun, and visible (or legible)<br>
only at higher resolutions.<br>

<br>About GEdit, it is indeed more difficult to represent a software interface than a real-life notepad...<br>So maybe a line-numbering on the left and a "Hello World" on the first line could do it? I don't know about the pen, I don't think we could replace it with a menubar on the top, it would not look nice. <br>
So what do you think? I think that just the line numbering and a simple Hello World would be simple enough not to distract to much a non-developer user. We should not put the Hello World in a programing exemple, thought! And it would be a nice thing for developer users. <br>
