I have been having a little look at those new PowerIcons & the packages available on AmiNet:

http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminetbin/find?png+icons

I have uploaded a grab for you to see them if you haven't already but it's taking an age to show up (I'll put the url in here when it's ready)

Now I know everyones taste is different but I think these icons are fantastic. There's all sorts of icons at www.kdelook.org but these are my fave.

So, my question:

The way I see it you see. We have been a patient lot & Hyperion have explained that it'll be ready when it's ready ;-) (We love it don't we!). Now since we don't have a release date for OS4, therefore aren't EXPECTING it on a certain date & Elena seems to have got a lot of ground works done here. Is it feasable for us to call on the Hyperion team & ask nicely if they'd mind implementing a new icons system like this into the 1st release of OS4 rather than waiting for "Boing Bags" to update this or worse still, people having to patch their sparkly new OS already? As you can see form the icons on AmiNet, a bulk of the artwork is already completed although we'll probably need a few Amiga specific icons.

Hyperion may already have other ideas in hiding. Scalabe vector things, in which case bitmap type PNGs may be out of the question at this moment, I don't know, but it would seem to me to be a good thing to do.

Anyone agree? Disagree?
