This evening, I thought I'd sit down, and integrate the TrippyIcons package that Dave Buck and I wrote once upon a time (let's be fair here, this is Dave's wonderful brain child, I just helped along).

It's a small simple package and easy to do. Before I pushed it for review, I thought I'd ponder some of the icons we added, as well as a couple old ones. So here's your chance to weigh in. First of all, what is the better "shape" to use to be the generic Object icon? Should it be the uniform sphere? Or a shapely, but otherwise uniform cube. Maybe the perfectly shaped but curious obelisk from 2001 with it's 1:4:9 ratios, though I just don't think you can do this justice in a 16x16 icon. Maybe the little micro baloon that shows up in so many VisualWorks icons already. Here's your chance if you've ever looked and thought, I know the perfect icon for Object.

Maybe you've not got one there, but you've got ideas about any of the following common classes: True|False, Streams, VisualPart, VisualComponent, nil, or any other common one that comes to mind.

I look forward to any of your ideas. And thanks for sharing in advance. I'll go back to trying to be creative now.
