244443 - Update Classic theme with new icons

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 150535

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, enhancement)

Description

[Prognathous]

The current Classic icon set looks very outdated and too resembling of the one
used in the infamous Netscape 4.x. A new Classic icon set should show the same
roots (otherwise it won't be "Classic"...), but should also be updated enough to
look current and fresh.

Bug 192225 offers one option (adopting the freedesktop theme), but I don't think
we should use third party icons. Mozilla should have its own icon set. This will
help build brand and app recognition, blending with other applications won't.

Someone needs to create some icons before there's anything to discuss...

Apparently Daniel Wang has "neoclassic graphics' in the oven:

Why not simply respect freedesktop's icon theme standard, and use the icons from
whichever icon theme is in use ?
