That's quite easy. Type these into xterm (copy paste). Rootsh must be installed:
sudo gainroot
cd /usr/share/icons/black-plastic-icons
find . -type f -name \*general_received\* -print | xargs rm -f
find . -type f -name \*gneral_sent\* -print | xargs rm -f

And then reboot the phone

Is it possible you add icon changes in the theme?
You might already know there's this theme where icons are changed everywhere. Would love to see something similar. And at best you could do it as an additional app or the same way you manage transition option...

Black Plastic does include quite many custom icons (check conversations, file manager, call log etc), you just need to reboot your phone after selecting this theme to use.

If you mean application icons then the answer is no; I think the original designer already decided what icon reflects best to the application. I also find it very confusing if icon for application varies along the themes, it's difficult to find the application you're looking to launch.

Hopefully you understand my point

And then question for you guys: what do you think about choosing the color scheme during installation? I mean you could download just one package and then choose if you want black, blue, orange etc variation to be used? Would that make the installation too complicated?

Yes I saw those icons. And I understand what you mean about original designer icons. But I think you a litttle bit missunderstood me - I meant nokia default icons like sms phone e-mail appmanager and so on. I suggest you install the theme I linked to in the previous menu and play with it.
Moreover,I think you could change icons in the mediaplayer,appmanager,email.Or at least make a choise during installation for those who wants fancy icons like me

would be awesome if i could select the color variant at installation... even better if one could select the variant while 'applying' the theme after installation. as in, only one package is installed but one can choose any color variant at the time of application. should be possible to choose different color variants at different times.

only thing about that, what if i like it in black, blue and orange. id only be able to select one colour on installation, then it would dissapear from app manager so i couldnt go and install another colour version.
better to keep them as different themes imo
btw when i install a new update to blackplastic, when i reboot after installation it always reverts to default theme and i have to chose blackplastic again from themes. is it just me?

Well, that's why I would write a setup "program" for Black Plastic which would be launchable like every other program installed to phone. So you could run the setup when ever you want and choose what variation to use.

Sounds like you're doing it wrong. After upgrading you need FIRST to go and re-select the Black Plastic to use (Hildon reverts back to Nseries when upgrading theme that's currently in use) in normal way (you know, tap the homescreen -> tap the gear icon -> choose theme etc). And after that do the reboot

Same thing applies to Nokia's preinstalled apps. I see red when I'm using theme that has different icons for any application in application launcher menu. It's just confusing.

Sorry, but this is just a matter of taste and I'm too lazy to design bunch of icons just because someone else wants to have those :-D I'm only creating something I like personally :-P
