Hi Art-pandas! :)
I have worked on a little icon for system-file-manager. It's not finished yet, still need to play a little with the shadows. But tell me what you think. I started to make a "dark"-blue version, but Martin thought it would be better with something lighter, so I have experimented a little - take a look.
Shoot!

Ok, since none other seems to comment, I'll step in in order to not make it stalled ;-) Now that I look at it, the dark looks better than the light version (the bright blue, or even almost white clashes a lot with the mid-bright grey). I was thinking you could perhaps try to improve the contrast (in smaller sizes) by making the body brighter instead of the drawers (probably not as bright as in user-desktop though). Plus the shadows in 256x256 under handles need improvement. I'd use trapezium (lol, I had to find out this word in dictionary...) instead of ellipse.
Other than that, I'm pretty much satisfied with the result (as we discussed on IRC already), even though it's not wooden ;-)

Yup, much better. Luya, Nicu, others do you have any comments?
Darker version of system-file-manage is better by far. For some reason, 16x16 appears to looks like a old fashion windows with that blue colour. It might be just me. Other than that, no further comment.

No comment from me other than I also prefer the dark version.
Okay, it will be the dark version - we all agree on this, huh?
Luya, any suggestion on how I can fix it?
