Hello,
	I decided to actually do something instead of all this proposing :).  I
feel that the most important icons to get to fit in the theme would be
the ones that show on the desktop by default.  I did a little bit of
inkscaping to the evolution-mail.svg icon, and made the red/maroon
border of the clock orange.  One problem that I ran into was that I
could not find a color palette for Human on the wiki.  Am I missing
something?  I used colors that seem to fit, but more consistent colors
could be used if I knew what the palette was.
	I'm attaching a portion of a screenshot with the default icons
"Orangified".  The firefox icon has been replaced by the Internet
category icon, and the evolution icon has been replaced with my new
evolution icon.  Please reply with comments :)

God bless,
Lukas
