By all means, be sure to check out Plasma Design ( http://www.plasmadesign.co.uk/ ) - who's focus is on widescreen Macs. A fantastic Mac small business who creates cool stuff specifically for other Mac users.

The problem with GUI Kit is that most of the icons sends you to another site/page - only to find out it's Windows icons or just tiny JPEG's you have to then use to make your own icons.

Xicons.com is nice also but the best fan set of icons are at:

I'm just looking for a good "My Downloads" or "Downloads" folder icon that matches the rest of aqua look. Does anyone know of anything?

The language on "My Desk City" is Chinese.

It's a Chinese site, not Japanese. :)
