Thanks for you critics,

in some points i agree with you. The trash icon really looks a bit thin in a
way. I ve made a full one, too. But i dont really like it how it looks now. I´ll
try a new one. The unknown file icon is another one now. It has a questionmark
in the center. I think it looks much better and transport the message clearer.
Also, i ve done a folder. But it is the first version. So i´ll improve it.

For now, the "computer" and "unknow file" icons are near to be finished.

You can see them on my website: http://www.rene.boyke.de/

sincerly

René
