I just have to my own "OMFG that's some seriously cool icons!" to this debate :-D
While I to some part agree with klepas that this kind of development (sorta like the Novell XGL thing) is a bit frustrating - it also shows (again) how effective this approach is. I think it is really great work, and we should appreciate that. Now we have something concrete to work from - a style to adhere to.
