Come on Apple. We've had the same lame icons for Home Folder contents like Music, Documents, Movies, etc... since OS X 10.0
They were lame them and even more lame now.
Tiger is visually polished everywhere, except these icons. They have always been visually repugnant, and now they stick out more than ever.
Thank goodness for CandyBar.

Matters of taste are a slippery slope.
I don't mind the icons at all, while I find some of the icons others have stuck on their machines positively insulting.
I think the current ones are sufficiently generic and clear, without being ugly.

I agree, actually � I don't think they're bad at all.

I agree wityh analogika and alephOne, except for the Home icon. That icon dates back to the NeXTStep days., and it looks out of place among the other icons, which tend to be either completely new or (as in the case of Library) a blend of NeXTStep icons on an Aqua folder, which doesn't look bad.
This said, the Sites icon could stand an update, if only to show a Safari window rather than an IE/Mac one.

Well, CandyBar is already available. And no matter what Apple did, people would complain.

Download a set you like from the internet and replace them. Beats complaining any day

Yeah, the Home icon is a little weird, but I've just been using my user picture instead. 'Makes more sense to me.

Bingo... if you don't like them, change them. I think they are fine.
P.S. Novice users don't like major change every .1 update. I think Apple does a good job of enhancing the OS without going too crazy.
