Firefox 3 default icons in hardy look like crap

[DMG46664]

Firefox 3 icons in hardy look inferior to even their default firefox 3 counterparts.
I don't mind the ubuntu team creating a custom look and feel, but if they do it should be superior or on par to what came before.

They should take a note out of the book of the design goals of KDE's oxygen project (and aqua where they take their notes from).

I've included screengrabs and have blown them up so you can see the issues.

Specifically my problems with the icons are:
* Smaller, thinner, less substantial.
* Probably the same amount of aliasing, but the reason above makes it more pronounced.
* Heavier use of drop shadow (no one does this anymore).
* Lacks glossy feel (due to less surface area of hightlights, highlight tone not sufficiently brighter than regular tone).
* Lacks illumination feel. (Look at the refresh icon, see how the default has a thin white outline inside the darker outline.)

this was a dpi scaling issue. has been fixed quite a while ago.

I don't think he was talking about a dpi scaling issue, he was talking about the aesthetics of the Human theme in Firefox, especially to Mac OS X's and Windows Vista's versions.

I wrote a bug on how Firefox needs to show text under the icons, as I believe this is part of the 'aesthetics' issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/307377
