    I really like Windows Vista Icons.. I remember seeing a pack for them on gnome-look.org, but it was broken. Does anyone have this pack?

    Thanks!

    @Jesse: I’m pretty sure Vista icons can be found easily, but I never searched for. I’ll let you know if I find something that may interest you, so stay tuned!

    I loved the BuuF Deuce icon set :) For some more suitable icons for using in application I like the Real Vista Icons from Iconshock though.. They have png formats so I’m not stuck with the ico files >.<

    I just want tiny 1/8-inch spheres, that can custom size, and squish, and color, and place in the toolbar and on the desktop…

    After a little use one would know which icon is for what…
    I don’t want the script… Having the script makes me feel like someone is trying to force-feed me with a plastic-spoon…

    Here’s some Aero Vista Icons. They don’t make it easy for Linux users though… you have to download each .png seperately. Well, at least they have png!

    It would be nice if these had a package name to install… even if there were repos to add.
    Imagine new user trying to install some of this.

    Good selection BTW ;-)
