Nitpick

The themes below are updated with Nitpick, a mod with new icons for folder and mail list panes:

      The ambition is to have clear and easy to read icons, e g when new mail arrives. Additional feature is icons for "replied" and "forwarded" mails (instead of have to display the "status" column).
 Here   are some more examples of the look.
