I forgot to mention that parts of my changes involve licensing issues.
- Usage of BWToolkit. Uses BSD License - should be no problem.

- New icon of Unison: from mac4lin project. Uses LGPL/GPL - again no problem.

- New toolbar and table-icons: from www.mattballdesign.com
I took some icons from the icon-set and also modified some icons of the set.
The icon-set is under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License so there should be no licensing issue.

So my license check tells me that I was allowed to include the changes in unison (gpl).
However I wonder whether or not the toolbar/table icons have to be given explicit credit (for example in the aboutbox).

Benjamin, do you have more expertise in this area? Is everything license conform?

Also the graphic changes are probably not everyone's cup of tea.
So it's up to you if you want to stick with the current ones.

Cheers,
Markus
