Hi Rene, though I'm a bit late with my reply, but I can't stand not to say your graphics look great. And I do like the cans (empty and full) which are online at your site now. ReactOS logo on them adds a little fun (though some people in Russia _might_ understand it wrong way - i.e. Russia imports nuclear waste to process them, and many ppl dislike this, but still I like this idea, and don't want it to be dropped because of bad associations).
I would prefer My Computer icon to be something like a computer or monitor or flat-panel or AT-form-factor computer -- just a ROS logo isn't descriptive enough.
And I like very much folder icon and unknown file.
Thanks for your work from me also! It'd be cool if you could create the whole icon-theme package for ROS (and also suitable for WinXP - so I can use right over XP to promote ROS :-) )
With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.

Thanks for you critics,
in some points i agree with you. The trash icon really looks a bit thin in
a
way. I ve made a full one, too. But i dont really like it how it looks
now. I´ll
try a new one. The unknown file icon is another one now. It has a
questionmark
in the center. I think it looks much better and transport the message
clearer.
Also, i ve done a folder. But it is the first version. So i´ll improve it.
For now, the "computer" and "unknow file" icons are near to be finished.
You can see them on my website: http://www.rene.boyke.de/
sincerly
René
Quoting "Andrew "Silver Blade" Greenwood" lists@silverblade.co.uk:
I'm not too keen on the "trash" icon, mainly because it doesn't make its purpose very clear.
At present, it looks just like a can of ReactOS.
It's un-necessary to have the ReactOS logo on every icon, especially the trash (what are you trying to say?! lol)
Aside from that, I really like the other 2 icons. I think the middle one would suit applications with no icon of their own, etc. best, as "My Computer" obviously would look better with some sort of relevant icon.
And finally, the unknown document icon does the job well :)
Sorry for the criticism, just thought I'd offer some (helpful?) advice. Nice work in any case!

Dear ReactOs-Team,
first of all i have to tell you that you make a great job. Go on with
it.
Unfortunately i have no skills in programming, but in computergraphics. Of course the programming is now more important than the design. So i
think
that you dont pay the design much attention now. But in this point i can help
you -
if you want.
I started to make a new icon set for ReactOs (click on the link). I
tried
to make it different from Windows, but not too different. Just enough to see a difference, but
also
to understand immediately what the icons stand for, if you know Windows. They look very serious
and
have not that "colorful-mainstream-children-windows-xp" design... :-)
Notice: The icon for the unknown file types are changed right now by me.
As
you can see in the forum on the website, there were advices for a better
icon.
I´ll follow them.

If you want, take a look. There are just three on the website. If you
dont
like them, i will stop designing more. If you do like them, i will go on with the work.
Of course they are all for free. Here is my eMail, if you are
interested:
