I suggest simplifying those icons to the core of what they are trying to

say. Use distinguishable silhouettes, color. An image is worth more than

my poor writing:

That does make things look much prettier...

... however, do you have an idea how that can tie into the logical work being done with Tango and the ArtLibre stuff?

http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.ht...

http://tango-project.org/ArtLibreSet

The latter does have some names for layer raise, lower, etc.

Basically, would you suggest to use the base "go-*" names/icons in the dialog, and the layer ones elsewhere (e.g. menus and toolbars)?

Sound like a good idea to me to use the go-icons in both the menus, toolbars and dialogs, as they are the same action, just in different places. Having different icons for the same actions in different places sound a bit confusing to me. Perhaps it would be a good idea to remove the raise and lower-layer stuff from the Artlibre set. Less work and better interfaces at the same time! - Andreas
