Hi all,
Oops! I'll try to correct these things as soon as possible. And make the missing icons and "correct" shape colors.
Hi Andre,
Great work on the icons! I'm looking forward to seeing these becoming the default.
I particularly like the changes to the node editing tools, and the alignment icons. There's a few that are a little confusing - the last one on the Object menu doesn't suggest "grid arrange", which I'm guessing is what it's for? It might look better if you showed a grid of similarly sized objects.
The bottom two in the Path menu are also sort of confusing (they're confusing in the current interface too). For the simplify icon, perhaps if you made the straight line red, and fade the top line a bit, it'd be more obvious that it's progressing from complex to simplified? I'm not sure how the reverse icon could be made simpler; the reverse concept is a bit advanced anyway.
Also, the guideline icon in the View menu suggest "graphing" to me; it might be clearer if the guides crossed at a point other than the lower left corner, particularly if they were not the same distance from their respective edges.
Otherwise, great work, I love the subtle 3d shadow work on the pencils and pens, and how overall "unified" the theme looks compared to our current set.
