Hello, The icons available at http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/Icons/ are nifty. I suggest they be shipped with Dillo, and that the INSTALL file tell users how to use them. It might also be a good idea to replace the default icons with one of the other sets (I like the Konqueror ones). The rest look much better, imo.

Good idea. What about ./configure --with-icon-set=xyz?

I don't care much for the default icons either but imo it isn't a good idea to replace them with the default icons of another browser. Dillo should resemble Dillo and not Konqueror, Netscape or XYZ. Having that said i'd love to see new, more professional-looking icons. - Victor

I thought of that, but I didn't mention it because people would expect a patch if I did. :) Frankly, Automake/Autoconf and friends scare me, and I don't want to touch them.

I disagree, because users should not have to learn the meaning of new icons all the time. The fewer sets of icons there are, the easier Dillo will be for non-expert users to learn. Maybe the Ximian icons should be used as the default, since Dillo is a Gtk application. GNOME users are likely to have seen them before.

I find the meaning of Dillo's icons pretty obvious but sure; they could be a bit more self-explicative (especially the bookmarks-icon). Still, it's not reason enough to just use the looks of another well-known browser (e.g. Ximian). Again, Dillo should have a personality of it's own which includes - among other things - a custom look (and with that icons). I'm repeating myself but i'd really prefer a set of new, self-explicative icons with a Dillo'ish touch. - Victor
