My hack of the tango switch icon wasn't received as well as I hoped and in all
honestly it lacked originality. Going back to the drawing board with a clean sheet
of paper I crafted this icon from scratch and I believe it blends well with the new
Ubuntu Dapper Desktop.

I hope you agree ... :)

Installation:

Preview mockup, before, and after screen shots to decide if you would
like to install.

To install, download attached tar, extract contents, and run script.

sudo sh inst-icon.sh

Cheers ...

Alternatively, here's a hacked-together inverse of the default (a more sensible button than the default IMO):

It looks much better (the old one is horrible and too XP-like), but not intuitive enough. Doesn't look like a shut-down icon.

I agree, it's a very nice idea, but I think it should be refined a bit before it can replace the current one.
