Cool, Timothy!

Thanks a lot! You're definitely on the right track! I like it!
It would be cool if we could put your source files (xcf?) into cvs too.

Well. Some personal commments.
The whole theme looks a bit too dark. Maybe you could change the colors of 
the books a bit, lighter. The 4 Module types could definitely get own colors 
each. (That is, bible _could_ be brown, commentaries red and so on).
The question mark for books is probably not the best idea (maybe just 
nothing). The commentary "man" won't be very visible in small sizes. I 
suggest that you erase it and ose only a larger speech bubble there, maybe 
together with the cross from the bible. You should probably take off text 
from the icons, due to small sizes. The plus icon is good, could be a bit 
stronger.  The cross could be a bit thicker. Dunno if the sword icon is 
appropriate atm... Maybe it should be more symblic, or with a power plug in 
the icon to indicate it relates to the sword library... But we can also use 
it as it is.

These are just suggestons, I'm no desinger. What I really like about your 
icons is that they are somehow modular, which will make adding of new icons 
easy, and provides a consistant look. Good work! If you can manage to get 
them ready soon we can include them in beta2 for testing. Once again, thanks 
so much.
