for system replacement and dock would be? I would have to vote for serenity for a semi system replacement and dock. I use WOA 2 Rev Folders and some Serenity icons. What else do you guys use? If everyone has seen my latest snap I am using the GANT icons with a relatively minimal setup Any thoughts are welcome as always.

For me, minimalist means either Translucent System or Bezel Icons...

thanks for all the input, how about this setup, http://www.macsnaps.com/snaps/screengrab/1096889011.jpg

if you guys were using that setup what dock icons would you go with to match up the theme in the best way possible? I am using gant right now for a little funk, but I am thinking about going to a full out match. Love to hear other opinions

Evidently I'll throw in my vote for heylove's Serenity icons. I just can't get enough of them.
You may want to check her latest set Shaded - I'm not too crazy about them though.

Here's SimpleThings from Whistl3r, a little less minimal.

You like abstraction ? Take a look at grayhouse - check his gallery for BOX icons. I've used some of his seri3 here in the underling theme (mod to fit underling - with author's permission).

I try to achieve true minimalism by reducing the folder icons to just 3 : generic, system stuff (music, library, movies...), user specific (home, app's, others you might put in the Finder sidebar).
Furthermore, I've reduced the drive icons to 3 : intern, extern, network. No usb, firewire, etc icons.

Applications are perhaps the biggest challenge. Here is an old dock I based on the Typo icons - the idea was to have the app extension as their icon. Unfortunately, this only worked well in a vertical dock (imagine this at the bottom of your screen : FINCADXLSDOCAPPWEBPREMAPSYS BIN).

Go on, give it your best shot. I'm sure GANT isn't in your circomstances.
