Alternate Wicd Tray Icons
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
These are wicd tray icons I created for myself. I was tired of the same looking wicd-tray icon which never fit my desktop theme.
I listed all files that net-misc/wicd installed on my system and found a bunch of *.pngs in /usr/share/pixmaps/wicd/
The icon set is smaller than the original wicd set, because I don't need information whether I'm reciving/sending or both (nor have I an idea for consistent design). If You need it -- replace icons with prescribed names with yours.
If you want to create your own set, there's a small script 'mkicons' to avoid tedious file renaming. Just make 4 files:
bad-signal.png
low-signal.png
good-signal.png
high-signal.png
and run ./mkicons in the folder.
Pale icon set is intended to use with Kycons (and shapes are inspired by kycons indeed)

and some dark panel background like Elegance

Black icon set is intended to use with bespin icons (together with Bespin style -- the very best style ever!)
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Bespin?content=63928
and bespin-like plasma theme (like Tibanna)

All icons were prepared using Inkscape (.svg files are included if someone's interested)
I'm not really happy with a few things:
a) wired icons (in both styles)
b) signal icons in pale style (which are for now default wicd graphics).
If you have an idea how to improve them send me PM, comment, or just do it yourself!;-)
updated details related to glow in dark set
----------------------------------------------------
Instalation:
- download
- extract
- copy all files in ./wicd or ./wicd2 to /usr/share/pixmaps/wicd/ (at least in gentoo) or somewhere, where wicd stores its graphics.

Also (but it should depend on WICD) it would be nice to have some sort of icon animation if hovered or clicked.
