Re: Alternative icon

Benny,

The 24 x 24 16 color icon is blue rather than black.

I am not so sure that a full white background with a black border around 
that is the best solution.  Would it be acceptable to add a white border 
around the X icon, rather than a full background?

I would appreciate input from others on this... I don't feel like making 
a call on the icon all by myself.
