Bug 384725 comment 22 (Stuart):
> Two after-the-fact comments from actually using these; I'm not sure if there's

> - The shape of the reload arrow was changed somewhat, and it now appears less

> Can we shave that off?

(Stuart was unable to be placated by the alternate dl_reveal icons and we landed the one from the existing "new" set instead.)
We can file specific bugs as we work on specific icons.

Philippe, do you think you'll have any time to work on any of the issues here for 2.1 (at least the ones that don't involve completely redrawing complex icons)?

I can make time certainly. I had been playing a little with the dl_open.tiff file, but what I have can't be used, I left the box-cutters inside the box...
More seriously, do you happen to have multilayer/vector files (.psd) for the recent batch of icons Sam gave in bug 384725 ?

We didn't get PSDs or vectors for those icons, sadly.

We'll work with what we have.
For starters, some screenshots, with guides of the (current) downloads window

both the dl_open and dl_reveal need some tweaking (bring them in line into a square the size of the round icons. The broom is another problem (I'd need to recreate it completely).
I'll look at the Preferences window later.

Are we all done here now? I think every icon mentioned in comment 0 has been redone now.
