Or do you think Diablo icons look superior to Maemo 5 ones?

I also think they look dated, especially compared to the rest of the stunning interface.
I like the applications menu and think it's great that the icons are similar to s60 to give a familiar feel and a "Nokia family feel", but I'm sure they could be given a fresher look without loosing that? After all, Maemo5 is new, fresh, fun and a huge step-up from s60.. Shouldn't the applications screen give that impression as well?

just changed the n95 back to its original theme (which i think is dated and ugly) and those icons look better than the n900. At least the n95 has a 3d look.
the n900 icons look like they came from win3.1

3D, colors, trendy, maybe even animated effects... all these give the impression of being cheap and - why not say it - slutty.
Nokia at least try to preserve some class and style. They are a bit too bright and colorful for my taste, and I can even spot unnecessarily playful 3D effects here and there, but still: one of the most sophisticated and appealing icon sets available.
Nokias graphical design has always been one of the finest.
(I'm unhappy to read developers have issues with the way icons are handled. I don't understand one single word about that, but I would love to see as much of Nokias design as possible in third party applications. Everything that makes this unnecessarily complicated would be worth filing a bug - which I won't do because I wouldn't know what to write

Okay, I'm going to build a new icon set for my first "theme" so first thing I'd like is if community members can post some icons or links to icons that they DO like, then I can work off of those, and create a Maemo.Org theme that is boom.
Please correct where I'm wrong.
1. Licence for them is not clear. Read: "Where can I read the licence?"
2. They cannot be used as a GTK stock icons. You have to know the path for them.
3. Icons and paths are not documented.
4. Icons cannot be included in OSS packages. If I used them in OS program, the same code couldn't be used on another platform as is. So I don't want to use them.
