Me too, I've seen a lot of XP-only icons that had nothing to do with XPish style. The only thing I was worried about was it not being compatible, but that was when I forgot it could be just a part of the whole icon lib. Even if all existing XP icons followed the style many people (me included) despise, I'm sure mIRC would have a decent one, provided that it had the same concept as the current one. At least in my opinion.
