Icon swap w/o new theme

With all the talk about themes and us Geekers getting the hang of creating in Plazmic I'm about to share another idea. There is a program "Magicicon" only costs a few bucks. You can use it to match up some third party icons to fit your favorite theme (I hate when they mess up the look of the phone and you want them on the front page!) Or you can swap out all the icons and not worry about changing themes. I've used it to match up my Mobipocket and Poynt for my front page, I'm not sure how much of a load it puts if you use it to create full changes of icons but I'll put the app out there. I found this on CB of course. Here's a screen of my adjusted icons. The outter two icons are the ones I redid in Photoshop to match the theme icons as you can the other 4.

BTW the theme is Natemz ProV3 in Pink then I created a wallpaper from a scrapbook website graphic. I realize now that I should have paid attention to the direction of the shadow on the wallpaper flower when I shadowed my icons... but on the phone its not as noticable (not at all) than on the PC.

It's something to think about for those who don't want to delve into the whole theme building. And the fact we can't, so far as I can tell, alter themes unless the author shares the thm file with us. I did pay for a custom adjustment on the idea that i get the thm file to play with which the guy followed through but the themes I get out of it are sluggish so I'm going from scratch. I just don't understand the svg stuff yet.
