Comment 2 for bug 61986

Hi richard, and thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I can't give a solution to many of the issues you're raising, but others shoulb be easily fixable.

"it's very important that you not replace the about box logo with something that says "GAIM".

Copying the current logo.png to the new iconset folder would do the job... I'm not sure if we would have to ask the creator for permission to modiffy the theme, though.

"I don't think it's a good idea to replace the generic Jabber icon with an icon clearly based on the Google Talk icon".

That caught my eye, too. There's an icon called jabber_bak wich could be renamed to jabber, much more generic.

"The Yahoo icon is even less recognizable than the current one we have in Gaim".

I have to disagree here, I did find it recognizable.

"The status ones incorporate the icon for a web browser, which is really confusing".

You're right. The status icons should be able to be replaced by dialog ones, they're actually visible when you browse your recent status, watch:

I don't know how to replace them, though.

"the Gaim Cool icon has been replaced with something that indicates a clear lack of understanding about what that icon is used for".

I'm not even sure what the Gaim Cool icon exactly is, so I might not be the right person to discuss that.

"Regarding the second set... I like some of those better, but I'm not going to detail it".

Both sets seem to go well with each other, would it be possible to take the ones you like from the second and the right ones from the first and create a hybrid set?

They don't go well with Gaim's current set tho, thay're much crispier and it wouldn't be a good mix IMO.
