I am glad to hear that.  Never liked the file cabinet - did not go with Haiku.

I will try to do a mock up in 1 or 2 weeks.  I am hoping to make something a 
little nicer, but very simple.  That house icon is small to view and it would 
help if it had 1 solid color ( ie: red with black or white outline or white 
with red outline, or without any outline, etc. ).

Seems to me that many want to keep the icon look of BeOS, which is fine for 
most of Haiku, but a newer icon here & there would be a nice thing to give 
Haiku a more modern, cleaner look. ( the other icons look good by the way ).

I noticed that many others on here seem to also like the leaf too.  The Deskbar 
leaf looks Okay to me with its simple and stylish look.  Maybe because I have 
used Windows a lot so I like to see text like "Start" ( or Menu, or BeOS, or 
Be, etc. ).  No worries, I can use my Be Deskbar image or create something else 
for myself.  I actually did not realize and was surprised to see that many 
people really like the leaf.
