The link that Saturn gave you (http://maemo.org/profile/view/brentdc/) was to a maemo.org profile (which is different from a talk.maemo.org profile!) so you can't PM him via the forum using that link. However, I notice his email address is public on that profile...

Sorry for this..
Here is the direct link if you want to PM him: http://talk.maemo.org/private.php?do=newpm&u=15761

On the right side of the profile page there is a link below "Websites".

No apology necessary, I emailed him, so I'll PM too.

Does anyone have any samples of other icons that go in that position? I'm working on the new icon, but I want to make sure I fit the feel of the rest of the icons on the device

Actually, if one doesn't exist yet, should we put together a design package with reference material for icons etc.?

Well, the N900's UI will use the new Nokia's s60v5 simple and glossy icons, like these in this picture:

Looking at your site, it seems pretty similar to my Flash skills (though I am mainly UI, and not a lot of actionscript (apart from a bit of copy & pasted code from Google :p)). I've only done it for little personal things, and never anything big, biggest I did was a Flash portal for the PSP three years ago when they were popular, after the PSP got Flash. How could I use this to help with Maemo? I've never thought I could, as SDKs, APIs, everything else that I thought was vital, well... scare me :o. I've done nothing professional, only advancing from learning very basic Flash stuff when I was in high school four years ago. What would you guys recommend I do?

Hi, didn't know how to help; so zipped all icons I've found in /usr/share/icons that are for the status bar and attached it here.

Hope it helps.

Haha, same man, never took a flash/coding/design course in my life and now, its more or less my career. I went to FITC this year in Toronto, and some Nokia guys came for a presentation discussing how "soon" actionscript 3 will be supported to build whole apps. I'll see if I can dig up my resources.

I did some icon work for Xournal, a cool app by anidel (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...928#post331928) not the BEST icons, but you can see that I do have some knowledge in what I am doing.

Damn, I should pull my finger out, I could be doing stuff like that... time to step off the bench and enter the word of development! 'New thread' away! :D
