Hello Kim, Thank you for your nice words on the Windows port of Evince. It is my intention to continue to develop Evince for Windows. The current version is only the very first release for Windows. A lot of things can still be improved. It is good to hear that it works well on Windows 7 64-bit. I had only tested it on Windows XP 32-bit, so that it works on other platforms as well is very nice. As for better integration with Windows 7 and icon design, I think that most of the look and feel of evince is handled by gtk+. The current installer includes a gtk+ theme with the look and feel of Windows XP. It might be possible to replace this theme with a Windows 7 variant, but I do not know if such a theme is already available. Also, I do not really know what Windows 7 looks like, I have no experience with it, so I really have no idea how outdated the icons are. If available, it should be fairly easy to add an other icon theme to evince that matches Windows 7.
