The pluggable "skins" / "themes" concept is great (in fact I believe Squeak already has "themes" which might be a good place to put icon sets too). Someone just has to do the work.
In terms of this contribution, it's time for a change. The old icons have been around for many years and have have not always been to Squeak's benefit.
However, equally important to the icons themselves, to me, is that constructive energy from our volunteer community is captured and channeled toward the end product.

Hello,
What is about changing Squeak icons by using "Skin logic" model, when somebody could choose the comfortable UI icons theme.. (Classic Squeak, Cartoon, Tango, etc.) ? Cold, blue Tango icons are good, but as for me, the default Squeak icons are looking really brighter and thus more alive )
Regards, Nikolay

I like when Squeak upgrades its look. These look pretty good. But we also need a replacement for the push-pin (on the upper-right of menus), since that one has the "cartoon" look of the old icons.
Also, it looks like the icons in the TheWorldMainDockingBar's menu are not all consistent with the World menu. e.g., "Save Image" should match "save" in the World menu.
Thanks for doing this! Chris

Hi All, I've put together an alternative icon set for Squeak menus, based on the Tango public domain icons from http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Desktop_Project . They're a combination of untouched Tango icons, some tweaked ones, and some that I've created specifically for Squeak uses, so the polish may vary. They're in the inbox as Morphic-MAD.505.mcz - have a look and let me know if there's any interest in bringing them into the trunk.
Cheers and Happy New Year, Michael
