Before I packaged this theme, I asked the author to add
Iceweasel/Icedove icons before I even start packaging it for Debian,
with 0.7 release he added these icons and many others.
I believe it doesn't miss a lot of icons, it's quite contrary. Also,
it's worth noting that this theme may not be mature as Tango and/or
Oxygen, but it's work in progress and it should definitely be
something worth paying attention to.
For those who want to try this icon theme, package can be found here:
http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=faenza-icon-theme
Besides inclusion of these icons, I was thinking of inclusion of the
gtk theme and everything else, Debian was always a superb distro, but
lacked looks if you ask me, and maybe it's time Squeeze changes this
since I believe Squeeze is one the most important Debian releases so
far.
Final look I was going for could be something like this:
