[AG-DEV] icons

Hi Colin and Steve,

>> I would be nice to do these in SVG to give scalable icons.

For the short term, I'll continue to use Adobe Illustrator and then use Gimp 
to generate the lighting and aqua effects because I don't know how to do it 
all in Illustrator (which can generate SVG). Once I figure it out in 
Illustrator...

I'll have a look and if get I get some time and develop more experience with 
Adobe Illustrator, I'll try to follow the guidelines and develop some 
Gnome/KDE icons.

I have to redo the Mac OS X icon as the lightening was from the left rather 
than the top, and the letters were too thin and looked a bit pale when 
scaled down to the 128x128 thumbnail. The 16 x16 thumbnail also looked 
horrible, probably better to use a plain red A and blue G for that size.


Cheers,
Doug
