2 things come to my mind:

The DLL icon is a pretty blatant rip of MSes, something we probably want
to avoid. And the other one it a pet peeve of mine on Windows, and now
ROS. The "Unknown" file icon logically looks like a system file (System
icon, on file, therefore system file)! Other then that, maybe adding the
filetype to the icon (Or switching between the nameless images and named
ones based on whether or not the "Show file extensions for those
registered to the system" option is enabled.

They look a little too much like MSes for my taste.

I've been around there and like it!

Don't take anything I said too hard, I'm just paranoid that we don't
give MS a reason to sue us ;)

Thanx
