Leopard-Ready Filetype Icons (Ticket #9392)

Hey all, I've done some more work on the Xtras icons; here's a rundown of the changes (I've included the updated files):

The binder pages at the 32px and 16px sizes better match the generic filetype icon in Mac OS X.
Contact List Layout and Theme icons have been completely redone to more closely resemble the Xcode and Interface Builder filetypes, respectively. I tried to use Adium-ish colours in the theme icon, but I'm not quite sure of my choices; your thoughts?
Dock Icon now has a flapping Adiumy, and a Leopard style indicator on the Dock itself.
Menu Bar Icon has been tweaked at the 32 and 16 sizes. The new page template gave me a little more room to work with at the 16 by 16 size, so I tried the double menu bar icon again; it looks a little less like a vending machine now, but I still want to know which one you guys prefer.

I have some ideas for the remaining icons as well, but I'd like a little feedback on them from you guys before I go too far with them:

Sound Set: A binder page holding a CD, kept in place by a tracklist flap on top.
Service Icons (already in progress): A linework Aqua network globe with the icons of various services lining its edge; this one is going to take a little while, I'm making my own set of service icons for the purpose.
Status Icons: A collection of various signs on a binder page.
Message Style: A a collection of schematics for different message styles laid out on another binder page, or a standalone collection of various styles of blank stationary (think the iPhoto Library icon).
Chatlog: I thought that we could give chat logs their own icon. I've been brainstorming a few ideas, like a binder page with a series of messages on it, a chat bubble with Adiumy's head in it, or doing a standard OS X filetype with Adiumy on it and CHATLOG (or simply CHAT) written across the bottom.
Script: I submitted one previously, an AppleScript icon with Adiumy's silhouette on it; feedback here would be greatly appreciated.
Emoticons: I'm still working on the larger smileys. Other than that, I think this is done, right?

So, that's where I am on the Xtras icons. Any feedback, ideas, etc. that you can offer would be greatly appreciated; I want these to be the best that they can possibly be.

P.S. What's the status on the toolbar icon update?
