Mikko,
You are on the very edge of making me feel VERY undervalued and
misunderstood. I wrote this article because there are simply
TOO_MANY_PEOPLE that *THINK* they can make icons and walk around with a
big fat question mark printed on their face when I try to explain why
something thrown together in MSPAINT.EXE in 10 seconds is not worth
ReactOS' time. You are not the one dealing with these people. And if my
simple wish to have a consistent look is arrogance, so be it. YOU go
make those goddamn icons and deal with these people, because quite
frankly, I am getting pretty pissed off at the fact that there are so
many steermen on shore here. It's so crowded, I think you might need to
take turns at the helm if you went on board.
Sincerely,
mf.
Well, quite frankly, you could do that a WHOLE lot nicer way. If you
have to state publicly that if you are not professional stay away or
get bashed then you are heading the wrong way. You could have wrote
simple instructions for the people wanting to help, instead you wrote
how good you are, how much you have done and how you are going to bash
anyone who tries to submit anything. No matter how I watch that it
just isn't constructive. You could have proposed something like icon
submission board where certain people could just vote if they like
certain icon or not, ergo making your life easier, but again you
didn't.. You just decided to bash the people who are TRYING to help.
Now, on to the trashcan: No, I am not talking about looks. I think
they look ok for now. To be more on the point, that is the same exact
mistake Apple did while ago. (Yes, they make mistakes) The problem
here lies in psychology; The trashcan displays an state of immediate
explosion even though single text document would be placed in it, so
natural response would be to empty the trash hence disabling the very
function of trash can: undo. Plus, it changes the single step function
(delete) to two step function (delete, empty trash).
