Well, I know that Hyperion has a 'graphic consultant' working on the themes and look of OS4. I'm almost positive that Matt Chaput is the one said 'consultant', as it was mentioned some time ago the the icons used were to be based off his 'Glow Icon' set.

Since OS4 is nearing completion (and well ALL know that's a fact.), to ask Hyperion to do such a thing would not only delay it's release (it's a hack, remember?), but would also be an insult to Matt or whoever is their 'consultant'.

Far be it better to simply send a letter to Hyperion and say 'Hey, take a look at her work and if you think it would be a welcome addition to further releases of OS4.0, talk to Elena.' Personally, I LOVE her Icons, but I'd rather see the Glow Icon style in 24 bit. Matt, Oliver, Sammy and many others contributed GREAT Icons. I use OS3.9 and when I run UAE and see those  gawdy 3.1 icons, I think how lucky I am that there ARE people like Matt, Oliver and Sammy contributing to such a wonderful platform.

Well, thought out and a wonderful idea, but I would rather have OS4 with Glow Icons than have to wait another 6 months, year or whatever to get the 24bit png icons.

Just my two cents.
