Hello!

Why is this one rejected if it could be fixed relatively easily? For me, these icons lack usability and it's use does not significant enhance the productivity ("First, read the folder's name. Then understand the emblem"). The rest has been discussed very useful in the comments above.

Just for demonstrating how much use is made of similar graphical elements in Ubuntu; small icons with extensive use of orange: Settings Icon, Home Location, Connect to Server and Search (in menu locations), Ubuntu Application Icon, Internet (Application Menu), Deskbar Icon, Firefox RSS-Icons, Trash, Close-Buttons, Ekiga Icon, Users and Groups (Administration Menu), Online System Documentation (Help Menu) ...

Most of them do not differ much in shape and color. I'm sure many people (for example older ones) cannot distinguish well between those. Maybe this has not been considered when sabdfl decided to include these emblem icons to this operating system. If I'm wrong, I would like to ask for some explanatory statement, because I feel that the decision was inaccurate.

Thank you in advance! Christoph
