[Adium-devl] Toolbar icons

[Evan Schoenberg]

I like some of the new icons and dislike some others.  Hopefully you  
won't mind constructive criticism:

Like:
View Logs - the addition of the 12/3/6/9 ticks helps the icon.  It  
could possibly be a bit darker/bolder as the current icon is, I think
Change source/destination - I like rounding it out a bit... perhaps  
the bottom-left portion of the speech bubble could be a bit more  
pronounced, as right now the circular part dominates too much I think.
Block - the nice (-) rather than the ugly (x) is great.  It should of  
course be on top of whatever we end up doing with change source/ 
destination
Send file - much better

Unsure:
Contact Icon - this one isn't seen that often except in the customize  
sheet... but making it look good is good.  I like what's done with  
it, though as pointed out it's an instance of moving away from the  
duck theme... and here it seems to work though I hate to start going  
down the anti-duck slippery slope ;)

Dislike:
Show info - I adore our current show info icon.
Add contact - isn't that the proteus icon? The duck worked for the  
icon, I think...
Insert safari link - the icon as coded will change to match the  
default browser (as will the name), so this isn't so much a dislike  
as a 'not really relevant'

Cheers,
Evan
