The icons aren't set-up as a proper icon them, like hicolor, locolor, technical and others you might have. Basically you just dump them in the folder for the theme you currently use (they'll overwrite a lot of icons, so if you want to keep the old icons rename these new ones).
Personally, I love icons. I don't know why. I just do. However, I hate seeing the same "designs" constantly rehashed.
These icons, however, throw a spin on it. It's not a "text file" implementation (different rectangles with various mini-icons superimposed) or a "folder" implementation (same as above... just with folders). But the circular idea is just nice. Granted, it's not a 100% different.... but it's a breath of fresh air.
Please!!! Keep 'em coming!
Did you fake it by adding the shadow on the wallpaper, or did you you write a font with thick, fuzzy borders (both of which I've thought about doing).
Or do I dare hope it's in CVS?
It's pretty darn cool.
I was gonna d it for some of mine, but never got around to it.
I wonder how hard it would be to add drop shadows to icon text and windows in KDE? I submitted a wishlist sometime back in the 2.x days, but I'd say that's rather low priority next to other things. :o)

followed your instructions, but it does not show up in selectable icon packages. I'm running MDK 8.2.

I'm afraid that after seeing so many shots of MacOSX desktops with the cool shadow I just faked it by adding it to my background.
