Still I just don't like those drawers behind every icon
Eh? The drawers are there to indicate that these are icons for drawers (or directories). Would you rather not know whether you are clicking on a program or a directory? The Amiga icon system is quite nice in that you can do anything you want , give different directories different icons, give pictures thumbnail icons... but this can also be bad as you can give programs drawer-style icons and vice-versa which just serves to confuse things. If you don't like the icons, change them.

Vector icons sound like a logical step up. Shame my structured drawing skills are even worse than my bitmap art skills :-(
