Let’s be honest, the rankings of gnome-look are weird at best and there is no good resource to gauge what icons / cursors / themes people like to use in their everyday DE.
So please share what icon-pack / cursor theme / GTK|QT theme you use, and why.
Not an icon theme exactly, but Milosz Wlazlo’s Basket Monsters, which I originally picked up off kdelook sometime around 2007, are old friends that I use to represent my machine’s various hard drives. I just find them amusing, I guess.
