area.o43 SVG Icon theme
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
this is an icon set meant to be used with dark themes.
It's based on servechilled's area.o42 icons (I found them awesome).
NOTE: This version is explicitly meant to leave out application icons, they are too much!
I hate when a menu list alternates custom icons with original ones and this is kinda unavoidable for application menus (unless I actually create icons for every single past/present/future app in the world :-) ), In my design philosophy it's either everything or nothing...I hate mixups.
Instead, I tried to finish the previous theme "basic" system icons. The previous version had some missing links causing default gnome icons to be used in system applications like nautilus, firefox, etc.
This version tries to address these issues,I added white border to many icons, added a few missing SVGs and symlinks and voilà, at least now my basic system apps use a single icon style (still I need to fix something but we're almost there).
This is my first experience with icon themes then be kind :)
tested under ubuntu 8.10
In the screenshots I used:
controls: Unity
colors: custom ( with #777777 as the main theme )
windows decoration: DarkRoom
wallpaper: patterno_blue ( http://www.wallpaper88.com/Computers/Patterno_blue-1783.html )

Otherwise, I'm happy with the icon set. Looking forward to future updates!

In 2.30, the "suspend" icon doesn't appear in the shutdown menu... workaround:
cd apps; ln gnome-session-suspend.svg gnome-session-sleep.svg;
Very nice work otherwise!

Area42 is my favorite set of icons but there were still so many that were not working for me (e.g. the "show desktop" icon, it would use the horrible default one), now it's all there. Really nice, well done.
PS. Ho appena visto che come me sei di Firenze, ti faccio i complimenti ancora più volentieri! :)

This version was explicitly meant to leave out application icons, they are too much!
I hate when a list alternates custom icons with original ones and this is kinda unavoidable for second level menus (unless I actually create icons for every single app in the world :-) ), In my philosophy it's better everything or nothing...I hate mixups.
Instead I tried to make a theme for "basic" system. The previous version had some missing links causing default gnome icons to be used in system applications like nautilus, firefox, etc.

I understand your wills and maybe, one day, if I have enough time, I'll start doing application icons..for the moment I'll concentrate on adding some missing icons at the "system" level (like the emblem for a locked folder in nautilus...I really can't find the correct name/placement for that icon!)and consolidating consistency across icon styles. This is already enough to fill all my spare time :-P
thanks for the appreciation!
