Yeah thanks, I have those, in fact the last update included the firefox/fennec one. I have also used the photo one in the updated fMMS icon.

The gPodder one is the default faenza icon theme one, and as for the others, as is the beauty of the n900, you can change things to suit yourself.
I will be including improved status area icon updates, as I get time to do them.

Although using the faenza theme as a base, I have also tried to keep the icons somewhat in line with the original hicolor icons for ease of identification. The default general_sms icon is an envelop which is why I made that one, but just more of the faenza style.

As I said, at least personal choice can be catered for with this awesome device. Mod away!

Hi Cooler.
This is just an icon pack so you need to apply it to a theme. Have you installed theme customizer?
Once you install theme customizer, you will find it in settings once installed, that allows you to use any icon pack with any theme you like.

Maybe the best icon theme for both desktop and mobile! Thanks for sharing!!! The following apps are not yet supported:
(* on less important and not popular ones)

colombus
cutetube
*easypark
*evilalarm
*file transfers icon
gonvert
hdr capture & lowlight
*h-e-n (usb OTG)
*here and now
*maemodder
mathcalc
mbarcode
mirror
*nixieclock
panorama (the nokia one)
*photorec & testdisk
rdesktop
qcpufreq
*tickstill
transmission
*wakeonlan
wallet
*wakeonlan

I understand how much difficult it is to create an icon for every app out there, so is there any guide you followed to create icons, as I have some basic knowledge in graphics design and I could help?

Despite informing about the godawful looking battery icons ages ago, no progress seems to be have made, so I stepped in and fixed the graphics.

I am happy that you have made additional icons which suit your taste. As was said to me when I started this pack, you can't please all the people all the time. Taste is purely personal.

Thanks for adding yours.

Well, excuse me, but those icons are straight from the Faenza icon pack, and unlike yours, they are scaled correctly (Which you seem to be incapable to do do). I may come off as blunt, but if the only contribution for this icon set is to copy someone else's work and rescale and package the icons, you at least better do it properly. So I don't buy this ******** about "additional icons" since I actually went and fixed something for you which you couldn't do properly in the first place. If badly scaled and disfigured icons are your taste, I can't really help you, but for everybody else's benefit, proper icons might be more appealing.

Also, your battery icons didn't even match the ones in Feanza icon theme itself, they lacked the gradient of the green part of the battery itself therefore looking like you had re-drawn them with MS PAINT or equivalent.

I'm not even mentioning the fuzzy scaling work on other icons, but they didn't stand out like a sore numb like the battery one, so I let it slide.

Uh, there are two things that irritate me when it comes to design, the design itself and technical execution. I can't really complain about design (eg. "taste") since everyone has their own. But I can do complain about the execution. And I can also offer my help on that. Which I in fact did, but I apparently got rejected. So, poor technical execution != taste.
