Well, I fixed the masking on the icons that were included with the theme, so they should look good. But I agree, it's a shame such nice icons should have so bad masking.

I agree. Mostly, it's just icon designers' laziness. Masking icon properly is very easy but most designers use Iconographer's crappy "Complete all Icon" feature.

Ahh.. I see. I did not know there were such a feature. I always make the smaller icon sizes by resizing it in Photoshop.
