Hye, great icons, I changed my theme to fit them :). So now I've got a black and white and grey desktop, except for a few icons, and I think especially kopete and kaffeine are commonly used, the others are kaudiocreator, kynaptics and kuser ;-). But they are less important. Good job.

Hey just thought i'd leave you comment saying i love these icons. They match the rest of my "monochrome" themeing veryyyy well.

Can you please make a HDD and USB thumb drive icon. A few more icons i'd like but don't want to put too much pressure on :P

Hi, thanks for your feedback. A usb-icon is in the pack now. HDD and many more follows. Hope you like the new changes.

Congrats ! These icons are great and something truly individual too. They have a style you don't see in most icon sets. I'd like to offer some constructive criticism: I think the mimetypes aren't as nice or in keeping with the rest and need work.

These icons made me think of art deco, they really lend themselves to a retro art deco influence - have you thought about looking at that more ? I think more stylish & shiny b&w icons with that sort of stylistic touch would just look fantastic.

Keep it up ! :D

Hi Jez, thanks for your creativ critics. I´m thinking like you and hope you like the new mimetypes. They are more simply, i think that´s the right way.

These icons are extremely well thought-out and neatly drawn. Congrats!

I know the purpose of this icon set is be predominantely black and white, but I think it would be optimal if you added (sparingly) some color, like you did with cdimage.png (yellow CD) or exec_wine.png (Windows logo).

Also, the contrast in the header (for example, "SOURCE" in source_c.png) is so low that one really can't read it, IMHO. Try making the writing lighter.

Other than that, it's awesome!

Yes you´re right. I changed the mimetypes and hope they are better. The colors!?! I think with this set i must go straight as i can. I´m working on a second set without black and white but the same style. In a few weeks a first Preview is ready. Thank´s for your feedback and the constructive criticism.

...FAN-TAS-TICO!

Typically, I'm not too fond of the monochromatic icon themes however, this one is quite outstanding. Keep up the great work.

i like your icon set very much. But I think the edges of the "direcory"-icon are too hard and don't follow the style of the other icons. I would appreciate if you could make the edges in a "rounder" way.
Sorry for my bad english.
