This is the *Windows* GUI championships, or so it seems anyway. The icon sets don't even include Firefox icons.

Good for Windows users at least I suppose.

yeah. But if this is *Windows* GUI championships, then there's no need to provide any other icons beside the ones originally comes with Windows...
And some of them is really nice, too bad it is packed to be used with WindowBlinds ;)

I have had used windowblinds 4/5 and iconpackager for many months before getting my linux box back. The themes are very nice and professional, but it's really only good if you look at the screenshot, desktop, explorer, and IE. Most applications, including vs.net and office, just can't work with those themes, not to mention a lot of horrible icons hard-coded inside windows shell and various programs.

Still, it's better than none, but gnome/kde or osx would never have such issues ;)
