grammar and icon fixes

[Andrew]

This branch linked fixes two wording/grammar problems and updates icons in the ubuntu slideshow so that they are not blurry and are all in the same style (as well as optimized).

Those icons look really good. Nice, balanced and consistent. Thank you!
I'll see about putting those in.

Where does that Gwibber icon come from?

We can't change any strings at this point since the existing ones have been thoroughly translated at this point, so that bit will have to sit for now. Assuming the slideshow for 11.04 is similar (which I'm pretty sure it will be), those suggestions will be useful. I certainly agree with you for the first one :)
Well, mostly. “Fit” isn't great, but “Accommodate” sounds like accessibility again. I was hoping to move the slide away from that, towards customisation (in a way that appeals to everyone) with accessibility being a natural side-effect. Maybe other people feel differently about it…

(One thing, though: “-” should be “&mdash” for the sake of accurate typography)

Cool that sounds fine Dylan. I just made the gwibber icon quickly based on the large original :)

[Dylan McCall (dylanmccall)]

Okay! I made a new branch cherry-picking your icons (lp:~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/polished-icons) and fixing a couple others. Filed a freeze exception request (bug #538411).

I LOVE your Gwibber icon, but I'm going to leave it out for now for the sake of consistency. Have you sent that to the Gwibber people, by chance?

Leaving this open since the grammar things stand. (Unfortunately, I haven't engaged in the necessary sorting to have a branch for 11.04 going yet).

Thanks again!

Oops, that freeze exception request is bug #654904 :)
