Icons for Miranda IM. Stylistically, they are something between Tango! and new Gnome icons. Just a few are taken from the project pages (namely edit-delete, file and weather from Tango! and text formatting from Gnome), the rest are made and constantly updated by me. I have spent so much time polishing them and learned that creating 16×16 icons can be very enjoyable – you can fine-tune every single pixel. :-)

Though, there are a few limitations. First, the icons are named in Czech language (renaming them would force me to put them in Miranda manually again, and it would not be very pleasing… ). But I think the metaphors are quite understandable and everyone could put them where they want. Second, they are saved in with .png compression, so they will work only in Windows Vista and higher. Without the .png, there were some problems with transparency in earlier versions of Miranda, so I made them this way. I think there should be a way to convert them all at once to desired older format…

Update, v. 2.5, 2009-01-23: Includes .dll for ICQ & Jabber xstatuses (though Jabber doesn’t have the activity icons yet), some new icons and improvements, new preview. Edit: It seems that the Jabber status pack is screwed up… functional can be found here: [link] (the ICQ xstatuses are outdated here, that inside dA download do work).

Update, v. 2, 2009-01-23: Added many new icons (such as AIM, Birthday reminder, Jabber moods) and updated most of them.

Enjoy.

PS: If anyone wants the CL skin shown on preview, inform me in comments… ;)

Okay, I'll get my flashdisk to work, and if I have free time, I'll try to translate it. :)

Excellent stuff! Thank you!
:iconaltglass:
I made an icon library of the icons: [link]

It's easier to apply the icons with this library.
:iconxtom:
Thanks, dude. :) I'll look on it as soon as possible.

Manually (icolib.dll) or use the pack (I don't know how, I haven't tested it yet). Look up in Miranda forums...
