I'm working on a retro computer theme...I used Gimp to pixelize my wallpaper and convert it to a 256 color palette to give it a sort of 16-bit look, and I'm using an Amiga-style Topaz font...I'm not sure what I should do with the panel, though, and I can't find a good dark icon theme that would fit what I'm going for. Any suggestions?
why not use the original icons from the old systems? like the amiga or early mac icons or those from geos from the c64 - nice idea though -
here's the woman who designed tons of icons everyone knows, like the first mac icons and the windows solitaire playing cards: http://www.kare.com/portfolio/index.html

That is funny. This morning, I talk a friend about... the windows solitaire icon ! I was saying that the person who have designed it should be very proud, because it's one of the icons everybody have seen.

<--THIS!!! I NEED!!!
Have any sources? WM, Icons etc.
I redone my audacious conky using ascii chars to draw it and the player controls then used white & grey text with a blue shade which gives it a kind of retro look
Reminds me of something similar I did - an Atari 800 (and other such machines in the series) themed terminal.
I did it on my now-temporarily-defunct-due-to-bad-power-supply HP laptop running #!, and my MBP that replaced said laptop. The netbook running Arch uses pretty much the same Terminator setup my old HP did, though.

just go ahead, install the VICE emulator, get a copy of GEOS and make some screenshots. then crop and make your own icons.. hehe, i remember i used that for school. had a noisy 9 needle printer.
edit.. found this: http://www.csswow.com/know-your-icons-p … ter-icons/ - no icon sets, though.

AmiWM is a nice WM to try some Retro themes styles.
