xfce icon-themes that work

Hi all,
        Is there a master list of icon themes that can be downloaded and installed to xfce with little or no alteration?

Having just downloaded iComity and other icons from xfce-look.org, I find they are not ready to go... No index.theme, iconrc or iconrc-png files are included there. Could be made to go, with a lot of effort...

So yes, apart from gant, tango, and rodent  , is there a list of complete or at least functional icon themes worth downloading please?

My favorite icon-pack that I've found so far is called "hydroxygen". It has a very professional look, it think it borrows some Mac OS X icons but I don't really care as long as they look good. The best thing about "hydroxygen" is that you can run different commands in your terminal to change the colors of the folders and the colors of the navigation buttons, as well as certain icons like firefox, thunderbird, or your Linux distro (Arch, xubuntu, gentoo)..... They include a nice chart of every icon that you can choose and easy to follow instructions for changing them from the terminal.

What they look like:

You can download the "hydroxygen" icon-pack from gnome-looks.org: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show. … tent=88575

There are a few icons that have the gnome logo on them (like the desktop folder and the screenshot icon), you can easily go into /usr/share/icons/hydroxygen and find the icons to replace them with different ones of the same size.

It's very simple to mix and match icon packs of your own. Right now I use the hydroxygen icon pack with the MacUltimate_Leopard navigation buttons for my browser.
