Looks nice, posting here in case we need a new icon set at some point:

It looks very nice and has 1000 icons.

The icon set has a very high overlap with Silk, the current set (there
are a few missing and a few added), and with the same names. This means
that we can easily replace the icon set just by replacing the current
icons with these. Well, there's the problem that we've hardcoded "silk"
everywhere.

The major advantage of FatCow over Silk is that it also provides 32px
icons. Other than that, IMO they seem to fill better the available
space, meaning that they look slightly bigger, and they look a bit less
childish, although just a bit.


P.S.: It's FatCow, not FactCow.

they are indeed very similar and with unimportant element additions.
IMO they look a bit more colorful, but I'm ok with them.
