I like the new dock icon, except for the angle of the duck bill. I think 
it should angle up a tad more. Not all the way up like it was, but just 
a few degrees from where it is. I think it would give it a better 
perspective in the dock on all sides of the screen.


Regarding the toolbar icons, Phill said that the file transfer icon was 
a placeholder, so everyone leave that one alone. I like the change to 
the General icon, VooDooPad also does something to General so we 
wouldn't be the first app to change that icon. The feather is very nice, 
but doesn't relay what it's for I think. I told Phill that maybe 
something like multiple colored feathers would do that, and he relayed 
that to Betts.

The away post I don't know if we should use. Jorge brought up that Away 
doesn't mean the same thing in other languages. At the same time, we 
also set the Away in the dock icon, so I'm not sure how far that 
argument can be taken.

I think messages looks good. I'm not sure about advanced, it's a nice 
idea, but it might have the same problem as the sign with away on it.
