Hicolor is the fallback theme (and as such one can say that it is the
real default theme and that the different distros and desktops add a
theme on top of this, which is their "default" theme).

It all depends on how you look at things. The "default" KDE theme is a link
to a real theme (at this time crystalsvg). Hicolor on the other hand is
the fallback theme for all other themes per the freedesktop.org spec no
to mention that KDE has done it thisi way for a while as well :-)

We are starting work on a accesable, usable icon theme. See the aritsts
archive for these mails, as wewll as the accesability list.

While you are correct that the artwork could be cleaned up a bit it is
comments like this that tell me that we cannot allow one person to
decide what should be removed.

The fact that some stuff should be removed is well known and we will
take care of this. Perhpas you would like to help with this work?

Bye,
Kenneth
