Re: Icon (and visuals) Inconsistencies

LJ that is a very valid point. In that context I quickly want to make another one, particularly about the new Oxygen icons. First of all, they mostly look real kewl and I am certain they will be perfect on release. Right now a huge problem I have with these though (as f.e. with the folder icon) is common to most if not all Oxygen icons: *MISSING CONTRAST*!!! There is no surrounding conture around them to clearly distinguish them from the pixel jungle they're supposed to live on. Look: http://davigno.oxygen-icons.org/?p=43
davigno has created some nice split view icons, and while I really like them, they are surely hard to see on a light background.
Maybe one solution would be to have all those icons include a proper conture and color that matching to the kde color scheme so enough contrast and consistent looks can be achieved? Not an easy issue here it seems...
