Description: This is a preview of my first icon theme, for sometime now i've been wanting to do a icon theme thats different. I'm planning to do the main common GNOME apps icons, then work on mime types. I had some great ideas comming for icons like soundjuicer, etc and the hole idea of this icon set is, fun, clean and different.
Icons were designed in Inkscape and colour corrected in The GIMP :-)Last changelog:
0.1 - Added new Home and trash icons.
0.2 - Added new screenshots and new mimetypes, 19 mimetype so far. changed new trash full icon. Changed folder icon to look closed.
----------------Released--------------- 0.3 - Added new screenshots - Changed mimetypes to not slant giving better quality. - Added new icons and mimetypes. - Enhanced icon colours and added soft shadows in The GIMP.
Version 0.4 -updated screenshot of new icon sound juicer - Made gnome menu logo small to fit like default - Added many more mimetypes, including .c, .h and .o source types. - Changed name of the usb device(memory sticks, ect)icon to harddisk-usb not removable-usb. -Put real text in mimetypes rather than the impression of text. - Added new emblems
Version 0.5 - Added new icons, Eye of Gnome, Network and Computer - Redesigned computer icon (was never happy with it anyway) - Added many more mimetypes, now over 40 in total. - Optimized size of icons by about 70%, now only 1.1Mb instead of over 4Mb. - Gnome Foot is now a major part of this set and will containue to be (clear about where the design is going) - Added new screenshot of new icons.
Version 0.6 - Added new filesystem icons when using "connect to server" feature, ftp, nfs, ssh, smb. - Added more mimetypes, now over 50 in total. - Added some new application icons like firefox, gnome menu icons and a couple for gnome control center. - Added actions and stock icons. - Fixed a few names that where wrong with devices. - Didn't use any colour saturation on icons, slightly less colourful. - Added a new screenshot of with firefox icon.
Hey! really wanted to get this theme but the file has gone from your server and tried searching on web for it elsewhere but all of the places link back here and the broken link...can you fix it? would be amazing if you could put them back up!:D
Sorry people, I'm the designer of these icons, since then I've had a clean out of all my stuff and dumped the SVG with them so can't continue.
Thanks for the comments and downloads. I'm doing some artwork for GNOME now.

The symlink for mozilla-firefox.png is an absolute link, which won't work unless your username happens to be sean. :-) It should be fixed to be a relative symlink instead, e.g. (cd ~/.icons/AquiGnome/128x128/apps/ && ln -s firefox.png mozilla-firefox.png).
Other than that, nice work!
Thanks,
The foots theme will be limited to core gnome rather than other application icons. It's more a say what you see theme, thats why there are foots :-)
hi i think
gnome-fs-directory-visiting.png
has to be
gnome-fs-director-accept.png
in the filesystem icons im' using fc4 gnome 2.10.1 hope this was helpful.
Yes the Computer icon is awful and I was never happy with it, the 0.5 release has a much better fitting one(see screenshot).
I have also addressed the icons sizes, see the readme and changes.
I liked it in the preview, but installing I see how big it is. This incomplete set is already 4.3 meg? Also the Computer icon, is just awful. I look forward to the next release.

nice icon theme, can't wait for the release, very good work in those icons
you need icons for all the open ofice programs and for evolution.... and gaim!
I tried it on my mums Mandriva 10.2 and it works fine. Try installing it manually in the .icon folder.
Great work,but 0.6 didn't work on Ubuntu 5.04 and I can find the resons ...

Well I dont think the firefox icon works anyway, even on my system which is strange. Thanks for the feedback anyway.
too many foots if you ask me... but they look nice :)

The theme is too..exuberant..too colorful..now that i've tested it, i think you must modify it. It must be more CLEAN..
When do you think to release this theme??
Click on the download text :-)
good work..don't give it up!!!! this is THE gnome icon theme
Thanks, i've got my webspace back so can now give the full icon set, rather than a striped down version :-) Enjoy and much more to come.
This is brilliant I absolutely love it. Keep up the fantastic work.
These have to be some of the best icons I have seen. I cant wait for you to complete the set. Cheers, Bandit
I'm waiting on some webspace I used to have but forgot the login details. Once that is sorted I will release 0.4 with many more icons.
Very attractive and fun looking icons. Great work! I look forward to seeing the complete set.
