Well, David did a great job. He does understand that icons should not be overloaded \
with elements.  Though Nuvola still has two problems which have to be fixed: first, \
toolbar icons for Konqueror are too  cartoonish and IMHO childish (take a look at \
default Firefox toolbar icons and see how good they are),  and second, folder icons \
in Nuvola have very disturbing perspective. Nuvola's toolbar icons for  Konqueror \
doesn't fit well with the rest of the icons, and the great and clean design of all \
the other icons  from the set is spoiled by disturbing folder icons. There are some \
                other minor inconsistencies in Nuvola 
like: some of the mime type icons have a blue stripe and others not, some of icons \
(both application  and devices) have crystal touch and some are still very \
cartoonish.   
Anyway, Nuvola as it is now is much better icon set then Crystal as it is now. Let's \
see what is  Everaldo cooking now and which improvements he will make to it.  
 
Cheers,
