I personally have no problem with change unless it is foisted without 
choice. I don't like the particular images so far mentioned in the 
thread as I don't see my use of TDE having any link with religion, the 
Isle Of Man or any other Celtic origins. In fact, anything remotely 
linked with Religion is a big no no for me.

I have no idea why Trinity Desktop Environment is so named but I have 
never considered the 'Trinity' part to be of a religious nature. Can 
somebody enlighten me on where the 'T'  as in Trinity originates from in 
this case?

So, basically, I would like the choice to remain with the current icon 
set or at least, a set not so completely diverse.

Cheers,
Mike.
