  • I think this doesn't look enough like the monochrome versions and it looks too much like the KFloppy icon.
    • Make the label area more similar to the monochrome icons.
    • The top is kind of hard to see against #eff0f1, so maybe choose a darker set of grays. These are based on the current Breeze colors. You might already know, but avoid going too close to #fcfcfc, #eff0f1, #31363b and #232629 unless the colors you use are surrounded by colors that don't blend on at least 2 opposite sides.
  • Margins need to be 2px, not 4px. 4px was for monochrome 32px.
  • The corners of the hole in the metal slide don't quite reach the nearest grid snapping points.

I love it!

How about this?


Should the metal tab on the top cast a shadow this long? It looks strange to me.

The tab is normally perfectly flush with the non-indented region of the cover (picture).

Heh that's a ton better than mine. :)

@ndavis You wanna just submit a patch with that and I'll abandon this?

Yeah, that was a feature of the original icon that I didn't remove. I wasn't so sure about it either.
