Re: [libreoffice-design] MimeType icons: More time for improvements...

Hey Paulo,

they look grate :) It's only that I see on Base Icons another Shiny rounded
glow. Which is not on all. On draw you have a linear glow. Impress has no
glow at all, but this awesome outstanding look (My Favorite). Writer has no
glow at all, but you made some nice details on the image.

I think in comparison to the rest is a little bit too much details. But I'm
for letting the details stay and add some little touches (don't ask me
which) so the Icons will have the same amount of "details" (Yes even in a
smaller version you can add some details to de Base 128version - this shiny
thing.)
