Those icons also look really good. I'm so glad all these open applications are getting a face lift; it makes them so much more appealing.

Hi Joel!
I assume you refer to the gtk+ stock icons that are being used in the
stable windows builds, and yes, they fit in somewhat bad on windows.
However, new gtk+ stock icons are coming in the next stable release
(gkt+ 2.12?). These should blend in a bit better with other windows
applications. Check out http://www.andreasn.se/blog/?p=45 for more details.
