Re: RFS: faenza-icon-theme
Hello :)

It was always my personal opinion that when it comes to themes Debian
was always a superb distro, but it always seemed looks were
disregarded. I believe Squeeze is one of the most important releases
in Debian history and it's time to change its look?
I had an idea to even propose overall look for Squeeze (including
video) I first wanted to get all the components into the Debian before
I start proposing anything.

Plan is to put as much as these eye candy things into Debian, If it
doesn't make into Squeeze, I'll make unofficial package with the
website where once installed it'll change from your GRUB theme to
Icons/GTK theme + if there's Compiz including compiz effects with
transparent menus.
That's why I wanted to make that video :)

I tried to fix all the things you mentioned here, please check the
re-uploaded package. Please do let me know if anything else requires
changes.
