        Hi Rene,
though I'm a bit late with my reply, but I can't stand not to say your
graphics look great. And I do like the cans (empty and full) which are
online at your site now. ReactOS logo on them adds a little fun (though some
people in Russia _might_ understand it wrong way - i.e. Russia imports
nuclear waste to process them, and many ppl dislike this, but still I like
this idea, and don't want it to be dropped because of bad associations).

I would prefer My Computer icon to be something like a computer or monitor
or flat-panel or AT-form-factor computer -- just a ROS logo isn't
descriptive enough.

And I like very much folder icon and unknown file.



Thanks for your work from me also! It'd be cool if you could create the
whole icon-theme package for ROS (and also suitable for WinXP - so I can use
right over XP to promote ROS :-) )

With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.
