Here are some right things to point out:

1. I started integrating Ken's icons in my local AROS sources only, and after some initial problems I succeeded in compiling everything fine. Ken's icons work, at least.

2. I am personally doing this task for VmwAROS only, since changing the default AROS theme is not something I have the rights to do. Expect to find them in VmwAROS, someday.

3. As far as I know, AROS nightlies aren't going to use Ken's Icons, at least not until they will be released with a proper licencing model which would allow AROS to use them without any possible legal issue. And, obviously, most AROS developers should agree with this change.

1. Does AROS support on-the-fly scaling of icons?

2. Ken's icons are beautifully painted, however those using laptops or smaller displays may not appreciate the large size.


1. No, ATM

2. Large size? 46x46 pixel icons shouldn't be an issue for any laptop/little monitor. Gorilla icons are much much bigger than Ken's ones (the littlest one is 64x64 pixel big).

I made some important progress here. Please look at this screenshot.

Ken Lester is helping me and the new look we're giving to VmwAROS is awesome.
