Description Daniel Brodie 2004-03-01 00:12:49 UTC 
The new icon (silhouette of a folder) for the gnome-fs-directory-visiting
icon is bad. It is too different.

It should be more of a subtle change so it is:
a) more obvious that it is an open folder, but still a regular folder, and
not say, a cut folder.
b) it should blend in nicely with the other folder instead of being 'in
your face'

The previous slightly-open-folder icon was pretty good.

"It is too different" is pretty much like "it is too green". A very
personal opinion. 

The -visiting icon is supposed to be clearly distictive from the open
folder used for the active state. It should give the message "you
already have this folder open somewhere". It's similar to what Mac OS9
used to do.
