[Breathe] Daniel's edits review

[Sebastian Porta]

Hi.
I finally got the time to make a review of Daniel's edits.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Breathe-Edit_0.10.tar.gz

First, I gotta say that I think that they look better that the old ones.
Overall, I really like the icons with orange or green, but no so much the ones with yellow or blue which I found too muted.

The "actions" icons looks pretty good. I wouldn't make any change, except for the yellow or blue like I wrote before and for the envelope that it seems kind of dark to me.

In the "applications" icons there are several icons that I don't like for different reason (perspective, lack of details, I don't like the metaphor): accessories-character-map, accessories-dictionary, fusion-icon, gdm, preferences-desktop-wallpaper and preferences-desktop-theme. Also, the utilities-system-monitor and utilities-terminal icons, although can be improved, I don't think that they look better without the reflection.
help-about, help-browser y system-software-update look a little muted (again the blue color).
I love preferences-desktop-screensaver.

In the "categories" icons I don't notice much change but I'd say that the only thing that I don't like it's the color of applications-internet, preferences-system-network and system-help.

In the "devices" icons I noticed that the displays has changed and I think that they look much better that what I did, although I think that with a little work could look even better.

For the other sections I could say the same that I said before about the yellow and blue colors. Also I'm not sure about the folder (I have to use the set a little more).

Well, I think that's all.
Take notice that this it's only my opinion and, of course, I'm open to hear everyone else's.
That being said, I must add that Daniel did a fantastic job reviewing the icons and improving most of them. Gracias, Daniel.

Once we resolved what to do with this review, I will try to be back on track making new icons and reviewing my old ones to improve them and making them more consistent (colors, perspective, etc.).
Sorry that this take me so long.
Regards.

I have had a massive harddrive failure today (physical issue, not just
bad data) and will take me a day to rebuild. I will read over this and
give more detail by Thursday.

Sorry for the delay. Sometimes real-life gets in the way. We'll go at it
hard again soon.

Daniel, I would like Sebastien to chime in as to what he likes and
doesn't. Without getting into too much detail, the overall saturation
level of the set is a bit low. Maybe I can script raising levels across
the set?

Ok. Here we are 1 week later. LOTS of stuff happenin' in my personal
life so I beg everyone's humble forgiveness as I try to get this train
going again.

So, let me clue in everyone to what Daniel has done so we can all be on
the same page.
With Breathe installed, use this:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Breathe-Edit_0.10.tar.gz

This is a set that includes Daniel's edits and inherits Breathe.. Now
while the color consistency is striking, overwhelmingly, people I showed
them to felt they were bland. The liked the strength of the base set,
but felt that the consistency saw better with Daniel's edits. So, we
need to achieve some sort of balance.

Here's where the folks on the list chime in. Keep it informative and
please no unhelpful "I like 'em!"s. I'm thinking we can script Daniel's
edits to raise the saturation a bit. But that also effects the plate
layers. Something I'm not keen on, but, seems no way around it. Unless
things can be applied to specific layers? Sound nuts?

Ok. Since nobody has chimed in Daniel, Sebastian and I will have to move
on our own.

Sebastian - Can you chime in on what you do and don't like? It's alot so
I know it can be hard. Should we just up the saturation across all the
edits? Then remove icons we don't like?

I just saw Daniel's message, somehow I missed it :P
I'll look into the edits tomorrow with more detail, but I can said for  
what saw that overall I like them.

Sounds good to me.
