Description: This is NOT a serious submission(*See edit). That is to say, there's nothing actually wrong with this icon (I'm rather partial to it, myself but it definitely doesn't meet the requirements. For one, it's got gradients; Not to mention, the shield's cross is more than slightly christian in origin. But, I figure that the name of this program is "Krusader," an obvious play on "Crusader," which is a most definitely christian concept. Not a particularly good one, I'll be the first to note.
Anyway, enough cover-my-ass. Hope you like it.
[Edit] Ok, ignore the rant above - this is a serious submission. Or at least, there's no reason for it not to be, with these changes. First preview is an updated version, with cross removed and cursive "K" changed to "K!" in different colors. Added user/root mode distinction, too. Download contains all versions.Last changelog:
Changed User/root icons, to make the difference between the two clear at small sizes
Grats on your icons, they are evolving really nice, good job! The only note (if I should make notes as another contender :)) is that with esp. on smaller, less detailed icon sizes (on the panel, for example), the two icons are hard to distinguish.
Like the shield and style, but it does violate the rules....
Try this: Put something on the shield that represents the "Twin Panels", and instead of a lone, cursive "K", make it "K!" - in three contrasting, but secondary, colors - for example dark green, tan (or gold), with black and white highlights.... for the "Root Mode" and dark blue, tan, and b&w highlights for "User Mode".
Just one idea....

Excellent work! Really good looking!
