User Feedback :: New DSL Theme/Icon Contest

I believe he means icon sets for use with the current setup (xtdesk). I doubt there will be any increase in the amount of visuals.

Radical suggestion.

What about removing xtdesk and replacing with wmdrawer? You can have one drawer with multiple rows or multiple drawers by catagory. Not sure if wmdrawer is smaller than xtdesk but I think it is very nice. Things are organized well and all icons are single click. Your 'icons' could even just be text if you like (email, browser, etc). That way we can concentrate on a theme and don't have to work about the icon styles so much. Even John's dreaded bubble icons look good scaled down in the drawer. :;):

I have a screenshot of what it looks like in the SCREENSHOTS thread.

That's not a bad idea. However....how will it affect extensions? mydsl-load will need to be re-written, and all extensions which currently have icons will have to be repackaged.

EDIT: no...i guess the extension packages themsleves will be ok, but mydsl-load still would need editing. I guess it wouldn't cause any compatability problems with the current DSL.

DOH! That's right. Eww that might be a major pain but I really do like wmdrawer and I'm not a big icon on the desktop fan.
