The current icons are a bit all over the place, and not very well matched.
If you are good at graphics, or know how to ask or pay someone who is, Moodle would really benefit from a classy set of clear icons that matched nicely!

I have just completed the NEW ICON SET for MOODLE----We call it AON ICONS. It is a COMPLETE icon set for all MOODLE icons---If you want---take a look at the following site:
If you want the set I will gladly post it for anyone that asks---Hope you8 like it---Rob

I found that the mod directory has individual icon.gif for each activity--is there a way to place these icons into the individual theme folders to customize them??? LMK- Also---what is the best way to distribute ICON packs????
I have actually put together about 3 different icon theme packs for MOODLE----
I have attached the PIX folder in the form of a self executable zip file----Martin---do I need also to include the mod folder---as it has all of the various activity icons??? Or is there a way to include these files in our own theme folder (I think that would be the best option) Let me know!!!!---

They look nice, Rob, but don't edit the standard icons in moodle.pix!
The best thing to do is to follow the example of the cordoroyblue theme ...
1) Edit config.php in the theme and change $CFG->custompix to true.
2) Include a "pix" directory that mirrors the main pix directory, and also includes a "mod" directory with all the module icons.
When redistributing them, zip up the whole pix directory. Please don't make them executables though - quite apart from virus issues not everyone who uses Moodle uses Windows! Just a plain .zip is preferred.

I set the "custompix" parameter to "true", but the system does not seem to properly access the pix directory in the AON theme folder?? After changing config.php and creating the pix folder in my custom theme folder (per "courderoy blue") the system reverts back to the icons in the main pix folder off of the root??? go figure!
