Most Usable & Most Original Icons - Top 10!

Wow, these are going to be hard to judge!

from Stardock Forums

Since we started the user voting on WindowBlinds today, it's time to finish up the icon events.  The entries this year are some of the best we've ever seen, period.  Everyone involved with the contest in any way shape or form have been uniformly impressed by the very high level of quality of what has been submitted.  Many of you were complaining how hard it was to just pick three icon sets when you were voting.  Well, now we're down to the ten best in each event, so imagine how hard it's going to be for the judges!

Below are the top ten from Most Usable and Most Original Icons.  Look down and be amazed!  And don't forget to vote for Most Usable WindowBlinds Visual Style.  We've gotten a few entries today that are definitely worth checking out!

Winners of the icon events to be announced later this week.
