Yes, I agree about the colours of the things and have been meaning to add a new version of one for a while. Probably I will change the colour of the camera silhouette (multimedia icon). Actually I prefer not to have transparent backgrounds for these - I found that it was nicer to set them off clearly against their own background. White has a nice way of doing that without making them stand out as squares on teh page, snice it is a common background colour. But it isn't universal - in a lot of places white is a bad-luck colour, and people use red or purple backgrounds (or blue ones). If the background was transpaent taht would create more problems than it would solve I think. cheers Charles On Tue, 1 May 2001, Katie Haritos-Shea wrote: I have to agree with Anne. The first icons are the clearest, but I would suggest assigning distinct colors (one predominant color per icon), not red in both Multimedia Creation Tools and Content Management Tools. And the doc tree for Programming Tools is a bit too complicated, less or larger boxes. And, of course best with no background color, transparent is best. Easy for me to say.....................I can make those changes if you so desire........................................Katie Katie Haritos-Shea 11809 Waples Mill Road Oakton, Virginia 22124-2113 USA 703-620-3551 Mobile: 571-220-7777 ryladog@earthlink.net kshea@fedworld.gov kshea@ntis.gov -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
