New Icons Redux

A good designer friend suggested I reposition the gloss to make the light appear to come from straight overhead, and that making the shadow blue might be more realistic.

I also made the blues deeper to give a sense of mass and density.

You can download the new icon files (ZEM.icns and ZEMDocument.icns) and place them in ZopeEditManager.app/Contents/Resources/ to get the new look.

The shadow can be improved a bit more.

If you take alook at the shadows real glass spheres cast, you'll see that the shadow isn't colored, but that the sphere casts a white spot directly underneath fringed by a colored halo, which is surrounded by the rest of the shadow. here is an example:
