RE: [TSVN] TortoiseSVN icons

Hi Christian,

You icons look good! However in the explorer (left pane) and in the
details/list view (right pane) the lines in some of the 16x16 icons
(InSubversion, Modified and Conflict) are just too thin, so (almost) only
the colour is left for identification and not the symbol (See [1] below).
Use thicker lines in the smallest icon set. Even if it doesn't look pretty
in the editor.
The green of InSubversion is a bit too bright, so there's not enough
contrast between the green and white of the tick mark.
The Conflict Icon is quite dark compared to the others.

It might also be worth a thought to use the same symbols in the icon set and
in the menu entries:
ConflictIcon -> Edit / Resolve Conflict menu entry (currently the case)
AddedIcon -> Add menu entry (currently the case)
DeletedIcon -> Delete menu entry (currently the case)
ModifiedIcon -> Commit menu entry (currently totally different)
InSubversion -> no Menu entry

[1] I was also thinking about using a different shape for InSubversion and
Modified (perhaps an upside down triangle ), because colour blind people
might not be able to distinguish these two icons. Especially when the symbol
on the icon is "low contrast" as it is in your design.

Cheers
- Lübbe
