I _love_ this idea, and icons look very nice, but here can be some legal troubles. The icons are under Creative Commons - Share Alike 2.5

I'm not a lawyer and not sure if using (probably modified) icons would

considered as "share alike" condition - they say "alter, transform or
build
upon", but probably authors intent was that icons must stay under CC Share-Alike license. See e.g.

That's great! Once they switch the license we definitely should use
Tango.
You could still ask them to relicense the particular icons we need in the meantime.

I completely agree with that. It sounded to me like the relicensing could take a while. On irc it really sounded like they wanted to help us out.
