Hey @MadsMadsDk,

I'm afraid this design features quite a few design guideline violations.

  • All gaps should be at least 2px wide, so the highlighted gaps are not allowed:

  • Icons should be grid-aligned as much as possible, here we have several horizontal and vertical lines that could be grid-aligned but aren't, but even other paths could do with better pixel perfection

  • Shapes should have some amount of rounding applied to their corners

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into fixing these violations :)

First impression was that I was looking at a landscape / treeline.
