Lots of excellent work posted today for this thread.  I was a bit 
skeptical about the microscope idea because it is such a complex shape, 
but you seem to have pulled it off quite nicely.  I am, however, still 
concerned about how the microscope idea would render in the smaller 
sizes.  Perhaps in those cases, you can just use the flat microscope 
shape from version 7 and 7a?  To keep consistency with your current 
version, the flat microscope shape would be slightly elevated from the 
page.  Just an idea...

I also would like to hear opinions about the use of the wrench or 
screwdriver + hammer metaphor currently used to represent 'properties' 
and 'setup' throughout the desktop, and how the use of the microscope 
can cause confusion.  Perhaps it's just me.  I don't have an answer to 
this, but believe that if we are to introduce the microscope in 
signifying this, or a similar, action...we should clearly state, when a 
wrench would be used, when the microscope would be used, etc.  Please 
help clarify.

Martin, your post today on shadows, shall I include that in the Echo 
Guidelines?  Did you find any of the feedback from the previous 
'shadows' thread useful to include? 

Thanks,
Diana Fong
