skip icons

[Thomas Lübking]

the vertical bar of the skip icon clashing the round outer icons 
(playpause/volume) is a visual error. (period. it might be considerd required, 
but visually it's plain wrong. dont argue ;-P )

attached are shots of two different skip icons, one removing the bar entirely 
(thus lowering the "skip" factor) and one with a "broken"/"bended" bar 
(actually it's just a slimmer version of the angle part)

my personal impression is that the bar-less arrows could trigger a false 
impression ("non destructive" like tabbars, treeviews or popup menus) and 
actually don't shout "skip" at all.
the  other icon (which looks a bit like bending space) could be seen as too 
exotic.
none of them looks as cumbersome as the bar+angle we've at the moment.

as the intention is to get a connection between the labels and skipping, i'd 
pick the variant with the bended bar, but maybe so. has objections or a better 
idea.

Cheers.

PS: the gradient is not related to amarok, my entire desktop looks like this 
atm.
