Hey, I'm all for more. More can be better. I didn't think full icon
themes was the idea, but neither did I think 4-5 tops. That's pretty
pointless too. You'd have to get that to 10-20 for the concept to be
effective. Other than that and the contraints put on the team by Mark, I
think it's a great idea.
