I was just wondering, if I were to make a new Theme based on any of these icons, which Icon would you choose.
in fact... are there any other icons made by anyone that would suggest a good Theme style?

Why can't we have both?

Seriously, I like both of them. If I absolutely had to choose, I'd go for the first set (but I'd still want you to finish and release the second set later).

The icons weren't designed to be presented in two sets...
I was just wondering if any single icon appealed enough for me to use it as a basis for a Theme.
An icon is easier and quicker to whip up than a Theme template.
And ... for me... one of the first steps in designing a Theme, is choosing what materials it should be made of.

I also had an idea.... not sure if this has been done before:
When a file is dragged over a folder... it normally pops open.
I am toying with the idea of having it become partially transparent instead... so that U can see into it.
