I know why there haven't been any other iconsets posted for the reader. First, it's a very fiddly process. It takes patience even if you're not painstakingly drawing each icon yourself. Second, it's going to be hard to top DiabloNL's work. He managed to make a clean, consistent theme that works well.

I tried pulling icons out of a stock set for my window manager last night and making my own icon theme. The results were lacking in the two areas I mentioned: cleanliness and consistency. I'd hate to have anyone review it. It's doable, but it takes a good eye for design to make it work right.

I wonder if more "themes" might be added in the future to make the unit personalized and feeling fresh! hint, hint..

Thanks again for these hacks and the hackbuilder!

Thanks,
