Description Robert 2010-05-07 16:12:45 UTC
Version:           4.4.2 (using KDE 4.4.2)
Compiler:          N/A 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The die icon for the shuffle/random button on media players such as Banshee or Rhythmbox does not look like a die to people who have no idea what it is. Because it is a dark die with light dots (in contrast to other buttons which are mainly light coloured), it looks like a rendering error and system glitch rather than a die.  One has to be told that it is a die, and look at it closely.  

On lower resolution screens, or for people with poorer eyesight, this looks worse.

A die with light-coloured sides and black dots would match the style of other buttons, and look less light a smudge on the screen.

The specific icon is status/media-playlist-shuffle. Note that the 32x32 icon has less detail.
