I think this is really bad. No icons or logos' should ever just use text (or even characters at all); it's too hard to distinguish if more and more apps do this. An icon should not be read. It's supposed to be an image which you combine with something very quickly. Also, it should be a SVG vector file. Gnome is supposedly moving to a vector graphics only desktop. -- Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a http://www. s t n m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact [sip|iax]: e e jid:b0ef@ n n
