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/

i like these a lot. they are professional, consistant and restrained. most linux distros fail in these areas. i agree entirely that as open source software, anyone can change the look and feel and re-distibute it, but part of microsofts dominance is down to consistency. i.e. users know what to expect, and most users don't bother to change the appearance beyond sticking a photo on the background. i think that if the base distro looks professional and fairly familiar to users, it has a far better chance of acceptance.
