[ardour-users] Ardour Icon

[Harold Aling]

For those who couldn't read my previous reply due to the html tags I 
forgot to remove: According to www.dictionary.com, "ardour" is a variant 
of "ardor" and has these meanings:

1 Fiery intensity of feeling. See Synonyms at passion.
2 Strong enthusiasm or devotion; zeal: "The dazzling conquest of Mexico 
gave a new impulse to the ardor of discovery" (William Hickling Prescott).
_3 Intense heat or glow, as of fire._

So I totally dig the flaming rec button!!! 10 points and a lollipop for 
Ben !!!
