I've removed the unofficial packages from wbar's repo-page since they added more confusion than what they solved I guess we can wait for the official packages to be in place. > > > 2.

Some of these icons used to be in my private svn repo since they were freely available online and I used them for testing purposes. I've removed most of them now and added a make-conf.sh script that should help generate a proper wbar.cfg config file scanning available pixmaps in the system. Take into consideration that this script just searches /usr/local and is not very configurable except some variables at the top of the script. > > 4.
