I kinda started reworking the icons and did the anchor and the trashcan, maybe that is the reason they look like gnome icons :) My intention is to re-work the dialog icons a bit too to make them more 3D looking, but I personally prefer using a grayscale palette for that. I could work on the arrow icons next in near future- I will also make the anchor smaller since it is too big compared to the rest of the icons. > > > Most of the icons in Freehand and Photoshop are B/W too..
