Hi,

- I think the icon guideline isn't clear about the angle of the isometric
icons from the base. It would be nice if you can state the angle value.
Icons would look more nice with the same angle when they are
sitting together imho. In garma's lapis prototype, I'm going 28 degree.

- And the issue of isometric vs. oblique view. I can't agree with the
isometric view because it waste more space at the corners.
ie. oblique may have less clickable area than isometric.

(hope they look right there)

I tend to have more concern with the usability so I think I'll go in
different direction for garma. Unless someone prove me wrong.
(math thing, I may not calculate the area correctly, I can't even
multiply 9 x 8 -- 73 right?)

- Another point is, Jasper's icons look so great and it could be
a hard time for me and anyone to play caching up with ;-)
