Just install PeterK’s excellent IconLib 46.4 and use whatever icons you want (I prefer old «NewIcons» myself)
Be aware that more colours (more bitplanes) also means slower screen updates etc, and that everything fancy eats RAM :)

If your Amiga is A1200, CD32 or A4000, which all have AGA, you may want to use a 16 colour (4 bit planes) interlaced mode and MagicTV. And also FBlit (with config from the IconLib archive).

There are of course more tricks around too (especially if you have more CPU and RAM), but those can get you started.

Example, my minimig...
