Now, to get in the subject: The greatest looking icon theme I ever found (the one I still use) came long ago with the Baghira theme. The icons are very very nice. I must say I still use my own custom made (compiled) Baghira full theme because I love its look. Since Baghira is not suported anymore (for years now), its colorful icons could be reused? My 2 cents on the subject... Pascal
