Description: Introducing The Last Amazing Grays iconset.
This project aims to become a full iconset for Gnome Desktop Environments. The Last Amazing Grays feature two different flavours, the dark one and the light one [as you can see in the preview], to fit all kinds of desktops.
It has come to life inspired by the wonderful brsev icons Token, and my previous works such as Hydroxygen and FFW. I have also to give credits to switzak for his ACYL project.
I really don't know when the full iconset will be released. All my energies are concentrated to develop it the best I can. Thanks for everyone who'll like this.
##########################################
A first release has been uploaded. It is based on my other iconset project [not in development anymore] FFW [Fast Forward]. As you will see, TLAG is very similar to FFW til now, but I am going to redraw it as much I can.Last changelog:
29.06.2010 ~ first alpha release. 19.03.2010 ~ folders drawing. first 12 icons for flavour.-_-"
You wouldn't happen to have a direct link where I can download the icon set? I think it's rediculous to install a package onto my system so I can install an icon set. I run gentoo with fluxbox as my DM, so I am concerned with my system being a minimalist system, and don't want to install this package.
It would be nice to add an Autodesk Maya App icon and Mime-type. Since I tried many times I would like to know if its possible .ma and .mb are its default mime-types
Sir... you are a god. I have to ask though: what's the icon style consistency like in the systray for the likes of Ubuntu? I'll pretty much only use an icon theme these days if the systray and app indicator icons are themed consistently.

I am sorry but I don't know if I correctly understood your question.
As I can read, you are asking me something about the systray icons of Ubuntu.
As far as I can tell you, my systray [and the one of everyone who is using the TLAG icons] should look like this:

So, what's the point?
I am very sorry, but my english is good, but not so good to understand what you're asking me, BTW :(
Don't worry about it, you're English is actually really good, but you've answered my question with your screenshot. I look forward to further updates. =]

Whoo they look amazing, can't wait for them to be ready!
Ottima idea e design deusnova, le terrò sicuramente per un bel po' di tempo appena le avrai completate :)
why not do so even customize the folder empty? Such an idea would be to put your logo top left in white and red / black and red depending on the folder-like light or dark to put a signature on your work plus make it even more beautiful folder generic (I said to the left so as not to be overlapped by other emblems of the specific folder).
Another suggestion I would have replaced the green of the 'user-desktop "with a color more neutral and better adaptable to most themes.
Hello,
I like the simplicity and originality of the preview .... two things not found together often enough :).
I look forward to seeing a complete product. Best of luck!

Hi.
The are some gray/black/dark icon themes here at gnome-look. In my point of view all those themes loose consistence beacuse they are NOT totally gray/black/dark. There are always some litllte green draw on the icon, a red cross, or a blue planet on the firefox icon. This breaks all the harmony with all the other icons in the set, especially if you're using some dark or light theme. I suggest you take into account this fact for the design of your theme, that at first look seems very promising. But this is your theme and you have to do wathever you want with it. But this is your theme and you have to do whatever you want with it. Its just a suggestion.
Sorry my bad english
First of all, many thanks for your feedback.
I aim to create an almost 100% B/W iconset, with all flavours of gray tones.
But I'd also like to place a tiny drop of colour into some of them.
As you can see, my desktop and folder-wallpapers icons have the default gnome wall as element [it does identify the desktop], and also pidgin user status tray icons will have coloured emblems on them [red dot for busy status, a green one for online status, and so on].
In my hones opinion, this kind of icons makes better the usability of the desktop.
But I promise, I'll try to use the colours with responsability :)

The last amazing grays is the name of a sonata arctica's song. Do I have to supose that you like sonata? 'cuz I love them!
