Great! We really need some better (and a bit larger) icons.

Well, I looked at them and you were very successful unifying them X)

But the problem is that they are harder to distinguish now, it's all 
grey in grey and you really have to look hard to see what's there.

BTW, you are not alone with that problem. I was already looking for nice 
icons for quite some time and of course I found some neat-looking aqua 
style icons. But the problem was just the same: they looked TOO similar, 
they all were water drops with some tiny object under them...

I am currently working on making that easier. The code just isnt ready 
for prime time...

With theming we can have lots of different sets. But my personal 
interest is more on quality AND usability of ONE set than having lots of 
different (more or less unusable) ones.

Indeed, there is lots to do. Maybe first discussing that in the MoinMoin 
wiki is a good idea. After that the coding and last, html/css work.

As Nir Soffer and me is also interested in that topic, we should make a 
discussion page in the wiki.
