+iKons - http://users.skynet.be/kbusiness/icon.htm
+
+-> What is it ?
+
+iKons is a high color icon theme for KDE. It features 16x16, 22x22, 32x32, 48x48
+and 64x64 icons with full support for transparency (alpha blending).
+
+-> Requirements
+
+KDE 2.0 or more.
+
+-> Installation
+
+ 1) Open the KDE-Menu an start the Control Center
+ 2) Click on "Look and Feel" and "Icons"
+ 3) Browse to the location of the new icon theme tar.gz file by clicking the small folder button
+ 4) Click on "Install New Theme" to add the new icons
+ 5) Click "Apply"
+ 6) Have fun! :-)
+Note: after installing , right click on the desktop and click on "line up icons" to finish it out
+ or your icons will act strange and look larger that normal (because iKons is a 48x48
+ default icon theme, and KDE uses 32x32 icons as default).
+
+-> Altering the toolbar icons (manual)
+
+ Go to /usr/your_id/.kde/share/icons/iKons/ and change the names of the toolbar icons
+ in 16x16/actions and 22x22/actions. There are 4 toolbar icon themes at this time:
+ 1) iKons (default)
+ 2) Netscape
+ 3) QNIX
+ 4) devel (toolbar icon theme in development)
+
+-> Altering the toolbar icons (with a script)
+
+ #!/bin/bash
+
+if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
+ echo
+ echo "Invoke this script from the iKons directory."
+ echo "Give the name of the desired action-icon-theme as parameter:"
+ echo "$0 [ netscape | qnix | iKons ]"
+ echo
+ exit 1
+fi
+
+for dir in 16x16 22x22; do
+ for icon in `ls $dir/actions/$1*`; do
+ new_name=$(dirname $icon)/${icon##*_}
+ echo "copying $icon to $new_name"
+ cp $icon $new_name
+ done
+done
