| I have completed large and small icons for the primary toolbar icons for Editor, Messenger/smime, and most of Messenger. Am currently working on the Addressbook set which will round out Messenger. From these it will be easy to generate new icons for Taskbar and the Addons Manager. I've also created a new set of icons for the Formatting Toolbar for Editor which is updated slightly to reflect changes in current versions of MS Word, as well as the new Editor icons. You can see what I have so far here:
| | Here is a sample of taskbar and Window menu icons for Modern comparing the original Netscape 6 and current SeaMonkey icons at 200%. I'm attempting to come up with a standardized approach to building this style of icons as they are used heavily in Messenger for all of the little thread identifier icons. |

| I am trying to balance the good and the bad points of the original work in the hopes of arriving at something that is an improvement and not just a rote reproduction. At this point I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of the intentions and design guidelines of the original icon designer(s). Please let me know if you or anyone else has concerns about the direction I am going, or nits about the current state of the work.

| I now have the complete toolbar button set for Modern done in large and small icons sizes. I am now going to start building the secondary icons for each component. Hopefully by the next meeting I will have even more to show you!

| I've noticed that this bug about the taskbar globe icon keeps popping up:
| |
| | |
| {{Bug|522023}} Use a better globe icon in the taskbar
| |
| | |
| I've now got a decent-looking globe in both "Modern" and "Default" color schemes which can easily be re-purposed for the taskbar/Window menu (as well as used for the Addons Manager for Localization support):
