Someone (sorry, but I forgot who) suggested the silk icon set at famfamfam.com would be worth looking at for wxgrass.
I took a look at these, and also wrote their creator about the possibility of working with us to design GIS-specific icons (haven’t heard back yet).
Many are nice, though all are small (16x16). I tried using these in the wxgrass toolbars to see how they looked. I had to modify a couple (and would need to modify more to really use these). So that others could take a look, I uploaded the results to the svn. There is an icon directory with the icons I used, and silk versions of wxgui.py and toolbars.py. You’ll need to add the icons directory and contents to /wx, and rename wxgui_silk.py to wxgui.py and toolbars_silk.py to toolbars.py.
My impression is that the stock silk set are OK, but not a significant improvement over what we’ve got. Also, they are kind of small (at least for my eyes) and we’d still need some additional custom icons beyond the large set provided in the silk set. But it does offer a different look and might inspire an artistic reader of this list to design some new ones for us.
