Excellent point. As I said, I can not, unfortunately produce an icon set; I would make just a monstrosity. Nevertheless, I disagree in your statement about the subjectivity of what is better or worse design. Regrettably, that view is shared by a large number of developers in the open source community. Judging by the opinion of the specialists (there is a vast amount of resources on the web), the truth seems to be, however, that a good design is a concrete, definitive and well established thing. Consider at least, the amount of money companies in the software business invest in GUI design.

I just hope that someone else here can produce a good icon set and submit it.

Thanks
