None whatsoever. And look how much better looking those are than the current ones. Hell, with those added to Mozilla with just a few thousand lines of XUL, I'd be hard-pressed to tell the UI from an honest-to-God, real, non-interpreted-from-ASCII-text one, at least by just looking. > It sounds like a good solution: > 1.none of the icons use anything even remotly "communist"...

It's not even a valid argument with the *current* graphics: "(c) 1908-2002 AOL, Inc.", in any font you want as long as it's Red, "problem" solved. Just remember: Only Case could go to China.
