Great icon set - much better than the KDE default one.

The only problem now (which the KDE set has also) is that the icons for 'Find' and 'Zoom In/Out' are very very similar, which they shouldn't be. Even something like flipping the 'Find' magnifying glass around would serve to indicate that the two are not related.

I'm also not sure why you've divided it into Home/Pro, if the only difference is the rocket for 'Run'. Where there really people so odd that they felt the rocket was 'unprofessional' in some way? Strange.

My guess would be that a lot of people consider the concepts of "bright and colourful" and "professional" to be mutually exclusive.

I say, let them have it their way. More fun for us Home edition users. :)

As a native spanish speaker that can also speak French and Catalan, I must say that the rocket icon is NOT LINGUISTICALLY TRANSPORTABLE. In English, "run" means both "go fast" and "execute", but this is indeed not the case in other languages. So a picture of a person running wouldn't do either.

Polysemy rarely translates straight, except sometimes between very similar languages: a piggibank image might clearly mean "save file" to an English speaking person, while Spanish French and Catalan speakers (at least) would remain CLUELESS, because the verb used for saving money (e.g. in spanish, ahorrar) is totally different from the verb used to save a file ("salvar" or "guardar" or "grabar").

Why not just change the rocket to a guillotine, then everyone should then recognise it for execute except then maybe some unknown tribe in the Amazon might not know, but then they probably don't use KDE much.

I second that opinion. The rocket icon is somewhat strange. When I first installed the new icons I immediately had a dislike about the rocket.

What about a green Traffic light? Traffic lights are an international standard and will thus be recongnized by people arround the world.

Not exactly true. While many of the icons are originals (and damn good they are too!) Check out the floppy & harddrive icons, and compare them to XP. OK, so the floppy now has a little floppy disk overlayed on top, but apart from that, it's near identical.

lame is the reason why there are two versions:
some clown complained that the rocket in next to run command in the menu didn't look professional, and what would his boss think of it.
The logical thing would have been for that guy to change to a non-fascist company, but instead two versions are now made.

1) Open the KDE-Menu an start the Control Center
2) Click on "Look and Feel" and "Icons"
3) Browse to the location of the new icon theme tar.gz file by clicking the small folder button
4) Click on "Install New Theme" to add the new icons
5) Click "Apply" (If Kcontrol asks you to save the settings, then chose yes)
6) Have fun! :-)
If this doesn't work, please contact me at kborrey@skynet.be

I actually built an rpm and installed
iKons so when I go to LookNFeel-> icons it shows up
under the menu already. I select
it apply and all the icons change
(desktop and toolbar). After I logout and log back in the toolbar
iKons are still there but the desktop ones are back to KDE ones!

changed that to 48x48 they now
survive.

I've followed your installation instructions to the tee and still experience a different, but similar problem. When I open up new Konqueror windows using either New Window from the menues, or from clicking on links that open in a new window, the toolbar icons sometimes revert to the KDE defaults. This never happens when I launch a new instance of Konqueror from the K-Menu, Alt+F2, or anything like that.

A very lovely icon set, but one tiny little comment: The arrows seem to be closer to the upper edge than the lower. It makes them feel a little non-centered, vertically.

Please keep up the good job!
