Question

Wow thank you for the compliments, I'm flattered. I'd like to extend my thanks to the app makers and their icons which made this little project possible

Sadly I'm not using these atm, I just upgraded to 1.1.1 and haven't installed the SummerBoard alpha yet, (2.11 doesn't work in 1.1.1). Its a manual install and installer has made me really really lazy...

While I'm ranting I have a question for those that have been so kind:

What do you think about lightening the drop shadow of the icons?

I have noticed that the drop shadow can add some very odd, and sometimes funny effects to the background image, like adding a handlebar mustache to the mona lisa. Its funny but not really what I was going for when I made these icons y'know? lol

So anyway, I'm going to have a go with making the drop shadows 30% opacity, to match the icons now, they currently at 100%. If I think it looks better I'd like to replace the current set with the new lighter ones, but if you folks don't think thats a good idea then perhaps I'll just offer 2 versions.
