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: boyke-jura@stud-mailer.uni-marburg.de
greetings
