Comment (by stippi):
Good work so far! To be honest, one reason I have never followed up on
these hand icons is that I think it's somewhat ignorant to show a white
persons hand. One solution could be to show a more neutral color (by
making it darker and more ambiguous). But what was done for the servers
that already have vector icons (debug_server, logging_daemon, mail_server,
...) is to create completely new icons. I've discussed with zuMi at the
time (who did most of these) and we didn't think there was huge value in
the concept of a unifying graphical element. For the same reason, the red
tick was removed from all preflet icons. And with the hand, the icon size
is much smaller for the important bits. You would soon see that it's quite
a restriction for the freedom of design. What do you think?
