Hi Danny, 
the icons are great idea, and one I was thinking about myself - even at the 
time of your monochrome icon set. 

Since I gather the icons colors are scriptable, wouldn't it make sense to 
use a "logical color" version as the base icon set, and generate primary, 
monochrome and black and white icon sets from that?

The icons have simple shapes and bold outlines, so I think they sould be 
quite useful where high contrast is needed. And they are nicer than 
Iighcolor icons in my opinion. I'll keep them on my desktop for the time 
being.

Ciao,
Luicano
