I am creating a theme for the GTK2 version of Mozilla 1.7. I am simply replacing the 10 year old browser buttons with buttons to match the GNOME stock icon set. All of the widget decorations are provided by GTK2. In other words, I am making the Mozilla match the GNOME desktop as well as Epiphany or Galeon.

Has such a theme already been made?
I have checked the only place I know, htto://themes.mozdev.org/ for Mozilla themes. Does anyone know another resource for these themes? I would not like to spend 5 hours creating something that seems so obvious that it already exists.

Where can I get the complete set of icons?
I have located many sites with the stock icon set, but all of the packages seem to be incomplete.

How do I convert the stock icons to "inactive" icons?
If a button is temporarily unavailable for use in a GTK2 application (such as an undo button when you can't undo anymore), the button becomes shaded. Mozilla supports this feature as well. The problem is, I do not know how to modify the stock icons in the GIMP so that they look the same as these. If you take a screenshot of an application and zoom in on one of the inactive icons, you can see that the colors are faded somewhat, and there is a black checkered overlay on the icons. I need to recreate this effect on the stock icons that I will be using in this theme.

Thanks.
