Why is changing the icons "dumbing down"? What is dumber because of the change? So what if it is "prettying up"? You make it sound like that's such a terrible thing. I'm not particularly bothered by aesthetics personally, I was perfectly happy with the old icons. But the new ones do look better. If you don't think so, that's fine, but trying to make out that changing the icons is a terrible thing is just ridiculous.
The mIRC toolbar.bmp is
available here. Although why I had to search for it for you is beyond me. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with access to Google, right?
