I have convertet in many hours over 2500 icons for KDE. There are many icons which aren't used by KDE. Just take a look in the folders.
Many thanks to mattahan, the creator of the icons, for his agreement to convert this icons for KDE.
Please read the readme!

Window-Decoration and style is "Plastik".
Have a lot of fun!Last changelog:
12. October 2003: Many, many new icons (the most are NOT used by KDE so look intothe folders for personal use). Now over 700 different icons. See the screenshots. 3 wallpapers included (also the one from my screenshots).
I absolutely love this style, and I always make sure to have a copy of Umicons around. It's like some kind of... twisted fantasy storybook style. Other icon sets may be incredibly pretty, shiny, and polished, but nothing can surpass the dark beauty of this icon set.
Download fails? odd... there are the original sets 1-4 on deviantart by the original artist, Manhattan. He(she?) also did the Gant icons that are now everywhere.
This port is the one you want, it has all of them in one pack.
I originally discovered these icons in a superkaramba script (which I still use) and when I downloaded them and started using them I found that they fit the theme that I was going for perfectly. These are the most amazing icons. I love how there are even custom icons for certain applications such as firebird (now firefox), and the gimp. It's a really neat theme. I'd like to thank mattahan for designing such a kickass icon theme and norbalin for devoting a very large amount of time to converting these for use with KDE. I'd love to see more icons added to the theme eventually, but as it stands this is already one of the best if not the best kde icon theme on the net. Keep up the good work guys.
I think this is one of, if not the best set of icons I have seen. It really does stand out from from a lot of icon sets out there that seem to look basically the same.
Great Work!!!
i think it is best becoz its really covering all kinda icons, not just a bunch of the most important icons. besides, it looks nice, and it is not so light like the other themes (which are too blue for my taste)
I very proud of Umicons (why you choose that name ??) It`s a very well done package of most original icons seen before.
I`m an aqua lover (not "barbie" aqua actually) but this icons broken schemes. Fly away picasso !!
Thanks a lot !!
very nice! but ...
i use KDE 3.2 and when i install the package it doesn't change all icons !
it doesn't change the start menue button and sound button and kopete ..
what shell i do ?
But they wont install...
I am no linux guru, but this what I did:
Downloaded and unpacked them into /home/zork/.icons/umicons/
Then I go to the icon part of preferences and try "install new theme" Then I browse to the above directory and choose index.desktop (as I think thats the file to choose). I click ok and get "The file is not a valid icon theme archive!".
What am I doing wrong? Please help. :(
Well - the whole theme is just great. Could You just tell me, what kind of font are You using? (I don't think, I ever saw it... :)
Keep doing Your work - it's great!

unable to download more than 17% of this iconset on deviantart. Where Can I find the full iconset ?

The descrip says v2, but it looks like a compilation of v2 3 and 4 icon sets. What icon sets did you use?
Supurb Icon set. I know that the nautilus Firefox theme is based on umicon icons, does anyone know of a theme that uses these v2 icons?
This set of icons is really well done. It covers all my needs and looks cool. i don't use any other icons.

I only use one set of icons and this is it. Simple, good looking and above all nothing like those 'orrible drippy crystal icons.
Theese are the best icons I've ever seen! It would be nice to have the Umicons3 in KDE :) Thanks to Mattahan and Norbalin!
These icons are really cute and beautiful at the same time. Keep up the good work! ;-)

These are the best icons Iv'e seen so far! Keep on the good work! Kewl icons indeed.
If there's 'killer app' why not 'killer icons'? I vote for Umicons!
Ehi, why does it not still downloadable?
